Case Study: Southern States Cooperative achieves 80% reduction in troubleshooting and improved PGP security with Coviant Software's Diplomat eBusiness Solution

Southern States Cooperative replaces McAfee® Business Server

Southern States Cooperative needed to replace McAfee® E-Business Server for PGP encryption and decryption across more than 50 transfer jobs while keeping their existing file transfer infrastructure and schedulers intact, minimizing script changes, and staying within a modest budget. They evaluated options and selected Coviant Software’s Diplomat eBusiness Solution as the replacement.

Coviant Software implemented Diplomat eBusiness Solution and went live in three weeks, requiring only small changes to PGP command lines and importing existing keys and jobs (about 60 jobs are now set up). The migration improved security (no plaintext passphrases), automated archiving and notifications, reduced file failures and manual effort, and cut troubleshooting time by roughly 80%, with operations calls dropping to less than once a month.
