ISCAR Cutting Tools Streamlines Large File Transfer and Improves Productivity with eTouchware's Safe-T Software Solution

Berkshire Hathaway subsidiary's employees use Outlook plug-in to seamlessly transfer gigabyte-sized files

NEW YORK, NY (October 27, 2009) -- eTouchware has announced that ISCAR Cutting Tools is using eTouchware's Safe-T Managed File Transfer Solution for securely transferring large files. ISCAR Cutting Tools, a Berkshire Hathaway company, is the world's largest manufacturer of cutting tools for metalworking.

ISCAR maintains manufacturing facilities for special tools and inserts in the Americas, Europe, Asia, Turkey and Israel. Providing solutions for customers often involves collaboration--and the transfer of very large design files--between different departments such as manufacturing, marketing, sales, and development at various international locations.

Before adopting the Safe-T Secure Managed File Transfer Solution, ISCAR used a home-grown system that was a bit complex for non-technical users. This would cause employees to occasionally transfer files using alternate methods such as FTP or to create media CDs and send them via courier. On the management side, the system also lacked proper audit-trail and reporting capabilities.

By implementing the Safe-T Solution, ISCAR was able to significantly improve the speed, reliability, and efficiency of transferring large files between recipients both inside and outside the enterprise network. Large file transfer became intuitive and painless as non-technical employees used the Safe-T plug-in for Microsoft Outlook. They no longer spent time on figuring out the file transfer process and could simply focus on their jobs.

"For business users and non-technical staff across any enterprise, the Safe-T Solution delivers more than just user-friendly large file transfer and collaboration," says Amir Mizhar, eTouchware's CEO. "The Safe-T Solution offers advanced management capabilities to make better use of their bandwidth and data storage resources with the help of the. In addition, the average number of requests for technical assistance in the file transfer process plummeted, freeing up the IT team to concentrate on other issues.
