Going Green with Biscom Delivery Server

We’ve gotten some great feedback on our latest release of BDS and it’s official – groups are a hit! We’ve been hearing from customers who have upgraded to our latest release, and they’re using groups to more easily manage their recipient lists, share information, and manage the stewardship of their files.

We’d like to point out our contribution to being eco-friendly and helping save the environment, one file transfer at a time. When it comes to large files, many people don’t know what to do with them, other than burn to a CD or DVD and send through an overnight courier service.  Using BDS, you can feel good about reducing your carbon footprint because you’re not using a fleet of trucks, planes, and other oil-hungry transportation to get your files out. And all that time you’re saving from having to burn the disc, prepare it for delivery, and send it out can be spent working on your letter of support to Al Gore (sent electronically of course – he did invent the Internet, you know). Going green with BDS is easy!

Managed File Transfer Tech Tip: Attachment Management

Save your email server and your IT department will love you
I don’t know how many IT people complain to us about the massive mail store they have to deal with, the result of large attachments being sent through their mail server. Not only do they have to back up a larger and larger mail store, they also have to contend with more email downtime for maintenance. End users are also spending more time cleaning out their cluttered mailboxes, when they could be working on their own projects.

Sending large files through BDS can help alleviate the email attachment management burden (or nightmare depending on who you talk to) by offloading that function to a more robust and manageable application. In addition to keeping your IT department sane, you also get the benefit of adding a layer of security and tracking that you can’t get through email. Not sure if someone actually got your attachment and downloaded it? Did the message get trapped in a spam filter? Did the recipient choose to ignore the return receipt you requested? Did the receiving party’s email server block your file because it was larger than they can accept or a file type they restrict? Sending a BDS delivery bypasses all of those potential problems.
