Case Study: Multinational Auto Parts Company achieves hyper-secure, all-in-one content collaboration with FileCloud

Multinational Auto Parts Retailer Meets All-in-One Content Collaboration Platform Requirements with FileCloud

A longtime multinational auto parts retailer — founded in 1957 and now publicly traded with nearly 6,000 stores across 47 U.S. states and Mexico and some 80,000 employees — faced growing content collaboration challenges. Their environment relied on multiple legacy tools (including IBM Quickr and WebSphere) and became urgent when Quickr reached end-of-support, creating security, access-control, and vendor-collaboration gaps; they needed a single, self-hosted, LDAP/SSO-capable platform with granular permissions, API integrations, and a secure client portal.

They selected FileCloud Server as a self-hosted, hyper-secure content collaboration platform that integrated with their LDAP directory, replaced the WebSphere supplier portal with a secure client portal, and provided easy, controlled file sharing (passwords, expirations), mobile access, APIs, and multiple instances. The result was a consolidated, admin-controlled system used by employees and hundreds of vendors and suppliers, stronger security behind corporate firewalls, streamlined collaboration, and reduced tooling complexity and cost.
