Case Study: Associated Press achieves hybrid-cloud data control and mobile security with Axway (Syncplicity)

Delivering security and mobility with a hybrid cloud solution

The Associated Press, a 169‑year‑old global news organization with more than 280 locations, needed a company‑wide file sync-and-share solution that delivered enterprise‑grade security, granular access controls and mobile access without disrupting journalists’ workflows. Key requirements included a hybrid on‑premises storage model with rapid cloud scalability and per‑user, per‑device, per‑folder and per‑file permissions.

AP implemented Syncplicity’s EFSS in a hybrid configuration, keeping sensitive data on‑premises while using cloud capacity for non‑sensitive content, and enforcing robust policies (including AD integration and military‑grade encryption). The intuitive UI drove fast rollout and high adoption with minimal support calls, giving IT full control of data and the organization scalable, secure mobile collaboration.
