My first blog

My first blog and my first blog posting. Actually, Frank Kenney, Research Director at Gartner, paid us an onsite visit today, and suggested that it might be worthwhile for me to start a blog on managed file transfer (aka secure file transfer/intelligent file transfer) and to start evangelizing the concept. As someone who's been quietly evangelizing this for the last 8 years, I guess this is as good as any forum to share news, industry events, and other thoughts on the state of the SFT/MFT market (like the military, tech is full of acronyms).

Biscom Delivery Server (BDS for short, to remain true to the acronym-phillic technology community), is an enterprise Web-based secure file transfer application. (EWBSFTA?) BDS enables people (or machines/automated processes) to send files and messages to each other securely, while tracking every transaction that can later be used for reporting and auditing purposes (think regulatory or compliance requirements). Basically, if you have a file that contains sensitive or confidential information that you can't send over email because it's either too large or you're concerned about other people being able to view it, and FTP, PGP, and other security technologies are too complex for your end users, then you need our product. BDS, above all else, is easy to use!

In a nutshell, here's how it works.

Questions? Comments? I guess I'm opening myself up to the world now, so fire away!
