Case Study: Tipmont REMC achieves secure, cost-effective file sharing with FileCloud

Tipmont REMC secures file sharing for 25,000 users with FileCloud at one-fifth the cost

Tipmont REMC, a member-owned rural electric cooperative, faced a significant data security challenge as employees were using unsecured, free online file-sharing accounts like Dropbox. This created a risk of data breaches, especially when staff left the organization, as Tipmont had no visibility or control over the data. They needed a secure solution that would retain the convenience of file synchronization and sharing for their nearly 70 employees.

FileCloud provided the solution with its on-premise storage, granular access controls, and Active Directory integration. The implementation gave Tipmont full visibility and trackability over file sharing, along with security features like remote device wipes. The results included enhanced data security and significant cost savings, as FileCloud's solution was implemented for about one-fifth of the cost of other options they considered.
