Newforma Info Exchange: the alternative to FTP
Security, ease of use, logging, tracking and file sharing not available using file transfer protocol software
Newforma Info Exchange makes it easy for everyone from principals to project managers to transfer large files without having to ask the IT department to set up an FTP site. By automatically logging who downloaded what, when, the software provides you with the accountability and tracking you need to keep the project on schedule and within budget.
Best of all, the next time someone says, "I never got that file," you'll have an audit trail to put the project back on track. Try that with FTP software!

 “My team members and I regularly exchange files that are too large to email.” |
Newforma software makes large file transmissions as easy as email without its size limitations. Further, all file sharing is managed from your servers on your network, at no additional cost.
|
In-house document management systems provide little or no support for file sharing and collaboration.
|
Extranets duplicate files already stored on your internal file server and charge by the amount of data stored. Their separate security adds to administrative overhead.
|
SharePoint requires extensive customization, adding time and expense to deployment and maintenance.
