OpenText today announced a new integrated solution that will enable businesses to send and receive large documents up to 30
times faster than traditional methods like file transfer protocol (FTP)
and USBs.
The solution combines the collaboration features of OpenText Transmittal Management
with the speed and security of OpenText Managed File Transfer.
Muzi Majzoub, senior vice president, engineering at OpenText says the methods of transmitting information have changed.
“Agile companies need a simple and secure method for sharing large volumes of information across the extended enterprise between engineering, procurement and construction management (EPCM) firms, suppliers or services companies and owner-operators,” he said.
Through the use of OpenText’s integrated EIM solution, businesses can now use the Transmittal Management interface to send files over 10MB, which cannot be sent by email.
Increased security and faster send times are also benefits of the new solution, says Sid Snitkin, vice-president, Enterprise Advisory Services, ARC Advisory Group.
“Managed and secure information sharing is the foundation of engineering and project management excellence,” he said.
“Ensuring that engineering and contract management document packages can be efficiently organised and confidently exchanged with partners, suppliers and contractors is critical to enforcing accountability, minimising errors and resolving contract disputes.”
OpenText’s integrated Transmittal Management and Managed File Transfer solution is available immediately from OpenText and through their global partners.
