To Benefit the Company

My company has been using FTP storage for over three weeks now, and we have just upgraded to the SFTP file transfer. We initially found out that the base service doesn’t offer secure transfers. With the upgraded service we are able to transfer huge amounts of data in a fraction of the time it took us to mail our tape drives off to customers. What once use to take anywhere from a couple days to a week can now take five hours. With internet speeds increasing every day, this number is bound to drop. My customers have been very happy with the speed in which they get their marketing designs. We focus very much on the aspect of maintaining a highly technical staff, and the time to receipt has been our sore thumb.
I am very happy with the service I have been getting. Our business has been growing, and we just can’t maintain the media to handle our growing customer list. Besides, physical media can be lost or stolen. This then becomes more of an issue of liability than of service. I don’t like being liable for customer’s sensitive data, and I think this was the perfect way of pushing our company into better efficiency.
