BOSTON, MA--(Marketwire - November 11, 2008) - Frustrated by an inability to simply send and
receive large business documents, organizations are turning their attention
to secure/managed file transfer that can seamlessly strip the big file from
the email and insert a link in its place, allowing the receiver to simply
download the file. New research from Aberdeen, a Harte-Hanks Company
(NYSE: HHS), shows that pressure is mounting to solve the daily challenge of
sending large files that are not supported by typical email technologies.
For decades secure file transfer has been in the domain of IT which oversaw
regularly scheduled transfers of large amounts of data. Aberdeen's recent
research shows that the daily need to move large files exceeds the
expectations for the demand on system administration and causes delays that
are problematic for the business. To obtain a complimentary copy of the

"People are finding ways around the email problem," says research director
Carol Baroudi of the Aberdeen Group. "The danger lies in the ad hoc sharing
of files without regard to data protection. There's widespread legitimate
demand -- organizations need to recognize the need and put in appropriate
controls."
Ease of use and dramatic cost savings are spurring long time users of
secure file transfer to evaluate new offerings. In many cases,
organizations can get out from onerous fees and even experience better
service. New accelerating solutions can dramatically cut the time needed
for lengthy file transfers.
