News of the Week
On Tuesday, March 13th, OpenText introduced OpenText Managed File Transfer (MFT), a new solution that integrates with Microsoft Outlook to manage the fast and secure exchange of large files inside and outside enterprises.
"We heard loud and clear from customers that their current solutions for exchanging digital content were limited in file size, not secure enough, too slow or too hard to use. We developed OpenText Managed File Transfer to fully address these challenges," said Eugene Cherny, General Manager for Connectivity at OpenText. "Our deep expertise in developing enterprise connectivity and content management solutions puts us in the position to offer a dramatically improved approach to enterprise file transfer."
