Media / Communication
Every day, countless documents are drafted and exchanged between the different players of the media and communication industries. Brief notes, storyboards, video rushes, design mockups, website wireframes, and stock images are in constant circulation. Very large files such as prepress proofs, high-resolution images, and HD videos must also make their way from one party to the next. With so many critical files soaring around, an efficient and reliable way to manage and distribute them is essential.
Moreover, customer satisfaction is top priority for firms that provide services to other businesses. One of the best ways to accomplish this is to maintain close communication with clients and to let them in on the files that involve their projects.

Elsewhere
Elsewhere is a communication consulting firm which creates innovative online strategies for the successful branding and marketing of its clients’ products and services.
Sharing project files with its customers and among internal and external team members is all part of the process; thus the firm needed a suitable system which would help accomplish this more effectively. With ftopia, Elsewhere’s team members and customers now have a simple and easy-to-use common project repository that’s always accessible to them.
Ftopia is really simple and intuitive, and much better than email for exchanging drafts with our customers.
The many obstacles associated with traditional file management and exchanging methods make them insufficient for meeting your customers’ and your own firm’s needs. This is especially so within any industry that’s surrounded by such large multimedia files and the inherent difficulties in transmitting them. Technical mishaps like important files not reaching your clients can easily work against you and undermine the customer satisfaction that your business depends on so greatly.
The Challenges with Traditional Systems
Email Attachments

- Confidentiality risks and poor security
- Inability to sort multiple revisions of documents circulating among numerous parties creates file clutter and leads to costly mistakes
FTP Sites
- Costly to operate and overly complex for non-technical users – IT staff support required for account setup, standard tasks, and frequent maintenance
- Firewall policies/IT network restrictions, delivery failure issues, and slow downloads
- Confidentiality risks and poor security
Network File Servers
- Costly to operate – requires hardware purchase and IT staff support for installation, setup, and ongoing maintenance
- Limited to internal use
