Software Publishers

In a highly competitive and rapidly evolving industry, software publishers rely on the ability to make their latest product marketing information and sales collaterals readily available to prospects and channels.

The ongoing delivery of new software components and product documentation also requires a secure and efficient system for managing and publishing heavy loads of content. New installers, patches, libraries, release notes, and user and administration guides are frequently released and need to be regularly delivered to distributors and customers.

Software publishers have considerably high standards when it comes to content delivery methods. Security, reliability, and timeliness are musts, yet they often aren’t tackled by the traditional options available for file sharing. From limits in accessibility to technical issues to the hassles of complicated and costly systems, the inability to efficiently transmit files can easily work as a software publisher’s worst enemy.

The Challenges with Traditional Systems

Email Attachments

• File size limits and server rejection/delivery failure issues
• 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
• Confidentiality risks

Document Management Systems (DMS) and Enterprise Content Management (ECM)

• Costly to purchase, install, setup, and run
• Overly complex for casual and external users
• Confidentiality risks
