Cloud service firm launches new tool for securely sharing documents
On Direct system enables important documents to be shared securely across devices
Cloud service provider, On Direct, has this week launched a new tool that will enable healthcare organisations to securely share files on any device.
Cloud Direct: ABC works across smartphones, tablets, PC’s and laptops, eliminating the hassle of email attachments by simplifying the way organisations share information among teams while ensuring important or sensitive documents, such as patient notes, are secure and available to only the right people.
Will Rowley, technical engineer at On Direct, said: “Whether you are a consultant working alone but needing to share sensitive information with a number of clients, or a local government organisation seeking to collaborate with hundreds of external agencies, managing the exchange of information can be problematic.
The system aims to address issues such as email attachments that are too big, files that get lost, documents that are misfiled, or multiple instances of the same file.
Rowley said: “Tools like Dropbox have primarily been adopted by consumers for file syncing and storage and have established a market for this technology, but with recent highly public security breaches many businesses are not comfortable with the levels of security these consumer-grade tools offer. With Cloud Direct: ABC we’re offering organisations of all sizes, an enterprise-class, easy-to-manage solution that is affordable and flexible and makes collaborating as part of a team both easy and secure.”
