Case Study: Global Financial Institution achieves 500% faster global downloads and real-time collaboration with Aspera FASPStream

Improving Banker Productivity with Fast, Secure File Sharing

A leading global bank serving corporate clients and supporting 10,000+ banking professionals relied on a Windows-based content management system to share highly sensitive, time‑critical documents (M&A materials, contracts, financials) across datacenters in North America, Europe and Asia. Because the application used HTTP transfers, remote users on high‑latency links experienced severe delays—tests showed a ~100 MB file taking nearly 20 minutes to download—causing days of delay in critical transactions.

To fix this, the bank embedded Aspera FASPStream, SDK and Enterprise Server clusters into its legacy client, adding high‑speed streaming transfers, enterprise‑grade encryption and centralized management while retaining existing security and workflow. The rollout took under two months; global transfer speeds improved over 500%, files that previously took minutes now arrive in seconds, enabling real‑time editing, faster deal cycles, higher productivity and projected CapEx savings from datacenter consolidation and reduced WAN appliances.
