Case Study: SMS Engineering achieves secure, mobile collaboration and productivity with OpenText

OpenText™ Open Workgroup Suite and OpenText™ Filr Advanced team up to deliver increased user productivity and IT efficiency

SMS Engineering, an engineering firm, needed a stable, secure, and easy-to-manage collaboration and file-sharing environment that could support remote work and avoid insecure cloud storage. Using OpenText Open Workgroup Suite, including GroupWise and Filr, the team wanted to improve email, messaging, and document access for employees in the office and on the go.

OpenText implemented OpenText Open Workgroup Suite and Filr Advanced to provide secure email, instant messaging, mobile access, and remote file sharing with integrated access controls. The result was stronger collaboration and significantly higher productivity, with engineers able to access network drives remotely, upload project photos from mobile devices, and share files more efficiently; SMS Engineering also reported that the setup avoided the need for extra IT headcount or budget, while helping automate much of IT’s workload.
