Case Study: Productions J achieves secure, VPN-free large-file access and sharing with FileCloud

Production J gives access to large files, music and video, from remote locations

Productions J is a leading Quebec-based entertainment producer (80 employees since 2000) known for television, live events, music production and artist management for international stars. Because staff travel frequently and work with very large audio and video files, the company’s VPN was unreliable and public cloud solutions posed unacceptable intellectual‑property risks, so it needed a secure, self‑hosted file sync-and-share system accessible via the web.

After evaluating Dropbox and Accellion, Productions J deployed FileCloud, which preserved existing NTFS permissions, removed the need to configure VPNs, and let users access and share large files via web browsers and mobile devices. The solution provided secure corporate‑network access, simplified large‑media collaboration, and delivered operational benefits—while the company reports cost savings of over 70% versus competitor solutions.
