nuBridges Co-Sponsors Research Study on Corporate Demand for Secure/Managed File Transfer

Market Wire, October, 2008

"The demand for easy-to-use, secure file transfer has grown from quiet rumblings to loud demands as organizations face pressures on many fronts," -- so says a new report from Aberdeen, a Harte-Hanks Company (NYSE: HHS). Sponsored in part by secure eBusiness authority nuBridges, the research study --"Secure/Managed File Transfer: Why Best-in-Class Companies are Saying it's a 'Must Have'" -- examines why the demand for secure/managed file transfer is growing exponentially across industries. For a limited time, the report is available as complimentary download from nuBridges through November 28, 2008.

"The demand for secure, managed file transfer is exploding," said Carol Baroudi, senior research analyst for Aberdeen Group. "So many different pressures are all pointing in one direction. New functionality for both traditionally scheduled file transfers and ad hoc file transfers is changing business process and saving organizations money."

According to the study, the reasons for this intense interest in secure, managed file transfer technology are many and affect numerous industries. These range from stringent data privacy legislation to the need to "exchange gigantic files containing everything from media content, check images, health care records, design graphics, weather data, and more," "to green initiatives that replace fuel-guzzling courier services to transport physical digital media and paper with electronic transfers."

"This research study supports what we've been seeing recently with the demand for our nuBridges Exchange managed file transfer and B2B integration," said Kim Addington, chief marketing officer for nuBridges. "Many organizations have pockets of file transfer activity all over the place. Security concerns are prompting them to shine a light on it and seek a centralized infrastructure that prevents data leaks, authenticates participants, properly secures authorized exchanges in transit, assures delivery and offers centralized visibility and logging. We're seeing a new generation of investment in file transfer technologies."

"We're excited to be sponsoring this research during a time of technology transition for our customers," Addington commented.
