Success Story: Production of Marketing Material

For a year and a half Fabasoft has been successfully conducting its cross-company collaboration with suppliers, partners and customers in the Cloud. Recently we have replaced FTP transfer with the Cloud for the sending of data to printing companies – prospectuses and brochures for example. Since our collaboration with advertising agencies has also taken place via the Cloud for half a year, every step in the cross-company production of advertising material is now visible and traceable.


The Secure Alternative to FTP

Encrypted Communication

In stark contrast, a cloud service such as Folio Cloud offers secure and reliable data exchange via a “Virtual Team Room”. Data exchange in a Team Room occurs between users who have been authorized by their email address and password. The communication always takes place encrypted via https ensuring that the data cannot be read by anyone else.

Traceable Data Transfer

Contrary to a data transfer with FTP, Folio Cloud does not require "extra passageways" to bypass a company’s firewall. The data is uploaded into the cloud by the data owners themselves and the data receiver can simply access the data from the Cloud, without needing to access the infrastructure of the data owner. The Cloud can therefore be seen as an environment of mutual trust for the transfer of electronic data between business partners. All you need is an https connection that is also used for other online services.

Fulfills Compliance Requirements

While traceability and transperancy are not a given with an FTP data transfer, Folio Cloud  meticulously records every file transfer through its Fabasoft Folio Auditing. It therefore remains traceable and transparent – what data was sent by who, when and to whom. The transferred data is stored and archived, unchangeable, with retention periods attributable to ensure that Compliance Policy requirements are sustainably fulfilled.
