Success Stories
Cloud Based File Sharing
for Manufacturer
The Situation/Problem
The client, an interior designer cum furniture manufacturer, shared design drawings and manufacturing specifications via emails and less secure file sharing platforms.
The management decided to move to a private file sharing solution to store their sensitive files and share them with their external vendors for added security and traceability.
As their vendors are located in different geographic regions and some of their staff working remotely, the client needed a solution that is easily accessible, secure and has a synchronization mechanism that allows files to be shared and edited by authorized parties natively on their computers and immediately synchronized with the Nextcloud server.
The Solution
iWV, a Nextcloud solution partner designed the file sharing solution incorporating these features:
- A cloud-based instance of Nextcloud solution that comes with extremely high data resiliency, availability and speed
- Project team comprises the client’s staff and vendors to share and edit files in a secure private file sharing environment
- Different project teams will have their own secure ecosystem and various access rights for each member
- Authorized parties who are not in the project team may be granted “Read Only” access to view the files anytime and anywhere
- System access rights setup must be simple and flexible
The Results and Benefits
The cloud-based Nextcloud file sharing solution has been deployed and used by the client and its vendors with iWV providing the monitoring and managed services.
The project team members are now able edit and share sensitive files in a secure and private environment without concerns about the size of the files or delays.
Some of the benefits derived from this solution include :
- No Capital outlay
- Cost effective
- Fast deployment
- High data Resiliency, Security and Availability
- Scalability
- Productivity improvement
- 24/7 Support and Monitoring
