Case Study: Dana-Farber Cancer Institute achieves secure, efficient global research collaboration with Biscom Secure File Transfer

Dana Farber Cancer Institute - Customer Case Study

Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, a world‑renowned cancer research and treatment center in Boston with thousands of staff and hundreds of clinical trials, faced barriers to sharing large, confidential research files. Campus‑centric email systems with 100MB quotas, a mix of email clients, and a globally dispersed set of collaborators made secure, timely file exchange and auditability difficult.

Dana‑Farber deployed Biscom Secure File Transfer (SFT), an on‑premises solution with terabytes of storage, rules‑based controls and tracking/audit capabilities. SFT enabled fast transfer of multi‑gigabyte datasets, improved secure collaboration with external institutions, provided reliable audit trails for clinical documents, reduced support calls, and was rapidly adopted across the organization.
