University of Haifa Relieves Email Congestion and Boosts Security with eTouchware's Safe-T Secure Managed File Transfer Solution
Leading university sends tens of thousands of email attachments without overloading their mission-critical email service
NEW YORK, NY (November 12, 2009)--eTouchware has announced that the University of Haifa is using eTouchware's Safe-T Managed File Transfer Solution to send email updates with file attachments to tens of thousands of students without the danger of overloading their mission-critical email service.
The university frequently sends tens of thousands of emails to keep its students informed of campus news and activities, administrative policy changes, and other important updates. These emails often include file attachments, which can place heavy demands on the university's email system, storage, and bandwidth.
With the Safe-T Solution, all attachments are automatically offloaded from the email system and directed exclusively through the Safe-T Server. Email system resources remain largely untouched as all attachments are now downloaded via a link embedded in the email. This not only reduces the load on the university's email servers, but it also eliminates unnecessary file duplication, saving gigabytes and even terabytes of space on servers at the University of Haifa.
The Safe-T Solution has also enhanced the university's security with features like secure download links and one-time passwords. This makes the university's technologically saavy IT team and their non-technical users feel equally confident that even the most sensitive email attachments will travel quickly and be viewed only by the intended recipients. "For users and non-technical staff across an educational institution, the Safe-T Solution offers a user-friendly, and extremely secure solution for alleviating email congestion," says Amir Mizhar, eTouchware's CEO. "The ability to create distribution groups is a very powerful feature and helps prevent users from inadvertently sending sensitive information to unintended recipients."
About the Univeristy of Haifa
Established in 1963, the University of Haifa is one of the largest universities in Israel with 40,000 undergraduate and graduate students. The University is divided into six faculties: Humanities, Social Sciences, Law, Science and Science Education, Social Welfare and Health Studies, and Education.

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.
