A major U.S. retailer collaborates securely with partners worldwide

A major U.S. retailer needed a faster and more secure method for its marketing teams to transfer files and collaborate with external agencies. Their existing FTP systems were cumbersome and insecure, and employees were seeking the simplicity of consumer-grade file sharing services without the associated security risks. To address this challenge, the retailer turned to Citrix and its ShareFile product.

Citrix implemented its ShareFile solution, which provided a secure, enterprise-class platform for file sharing. More than 1,200 users now use ShareFile to collaborate with external partners, benefiting from its user-friendly interface and robust security. The solution eliminated the need for insecure consumer services and FTP, streamlining collaboration with thousands of agencies worldwide. The results were so positive that the retailer is exploring further uses for ShareFile, including as a front end for its private cloud.
