Case Study: ECi Software Solutions achieves secure, on-premises file sharing and full admin control with FileCloud

ECi seamlessly exchanges data with customers

ECi Software Solutions, founded in 1999 and based in Fort Worth, Texas, is a midsized software company (≈400 employees) that provides industry-specific ERP, e-commerce, and dealer management systems for small and medium businesses. Their primary challenge was securely exchanging and managing customer data while keeping all files on-premises (no third‑party servers), with admin controls for monitoring, access revocation, expirations, and mobile device wipes.

After evaluating Dropbox and OwnCloud, ECi implemented FileCloud by Tonido. FileCloud provided easy setup, browser/desktop/mobile clients, and on‑premises storage, plus powerful admin features—activity monitoring, remote wipe, access revocation, backups and version control—so ECi retained full control of confidential data. The result was a secure, maintainable solution that met their requirements and simplified file sharing for employees and clients.
