The revolutionary web service that allows professionals to manage and transfer large files up to 100 times faster than FTP.
NEW YORK, NY, February 10, 2009 –Today GLOBALedit®, the leader in
online workflow software officially launched a break-through service
called FileSociety™ that is changing the way large digital files are
transported around the world. Replacing outdated methods such as FTP
and DVD shipping, GLOBALedit® designed FileSociety™ for professionals
looking for faster, greener and smarter tools to collaborate and share
files.
FileSociety™ was designed and developed for demanding, file-based
workflows such as film, photo and audio production, advertising and
marketing, publishing, printing, research and medical, architecture,
retail and event production. FileSociety™ is the remedy for archaic,
slow and insecure FTP, costly shipping services. This innovative web
service transports huge files such as video, graphics, digital images,
and schematics with blazing speed from any web browser.
FileSociety™ is a new service powered by Aspera’s next-generation fasp™
transport technology for high-performance file transfer up to 100 times
the speed of FTP. This ‘best-of-breed’ partnership ushers in an
efficient new mode of sending digital assets of any size through any
network at maximum speed, regardless of conditions or distance with
complete security built-in. FileSociety™ is a one of a kind, much
anticipated reincarnation of file transfer.
Steve Kalalian, President of GLOBALedit® states, “We’re very excited
about building FileSociety™ because it solves so many core problems for
our clients in the creative industry as well as other industries that
need to send large files quickly and safely over the Internet.
Everything is digital, files keep getting bigger, and everyone needs
them faster – we built FileSociety™ to give busy professionals the
tools to control their files instead of being controlled by them.”
McGraw Hill, Victoria's Secret, Showtime. Pentagram, Saatchi &
Saatchi and Warner Brothers are all enthusiastic early adopters of
FileSociety™ and are currently sending massive files long distance with
the only software service in existence that offers them an unrivaled
combination high-speed technology, genius receipt messaging and
steadfast security.
Carl Hixson Vice President, Digital Asset Management McGraw-Hill
Companies comments, "FileSociety opens entirely new opportunities for
our company. A typical layout file that would previously have taken 30
minutes to transfer to a design office in Asia now takes 11 seconds.
Multiply this across the volume of files that we move and it's a game
changer. The system is also under the control of our creative staff
which gives them the freedom and speed to take control of the
production process. This is an important innovation."
Overnight shipping, unreliable links and expensive plane tickets are
passé for smart professionals who now have a handle on ‘heavy lifting’
with FileSociety™.
