Express News Group Implements, Maximizes FileCatalyst Software Solutions
Ottawa, Canada (PRWEB) June 12, 2014 -- Unlimi-Tech Software, Inc., a pioneer in managed file transfers and the creator of FileCatalyst, a world leading accelerated file transfer solution, today announces Express Media Group’s use of FileCatalyst software across their television, newspaper, and online divisions throughout Pakistan.
Express Media Group began operations in 1998 with an Urdu language newspaper and has since expanded to include five print publications, four satellite TV channels, and online content websites. Struggling with file transfer speeds using FTP over a satellite network, the company sought a better solution. Following a trial during which functionality, reliability, and security were tested to Express Media Group’s high standards, they moved ahead with both main and backup FileCatalyst Servers. On the client side, Express Media Group selected the easy-to-use FileCatalyst HotFolder software.
Since implementing FileCatalyst, Express Media Group have been running the servers constantly, making full use of their satellite bandwidth and overcoming the delays previously experienced. For the print division of the company, FileCatalyst HotFolders streamline transfers between different bureaus and press sites and facilitate automatic transfers directly between users. Meanwhile, stakeholders in the broadcasting division have become less dependent on physical movement of discs as FileCatalyst is able to maximize Internet bandwidth to move large amounts of data. In particular, FileCatalyst’s bandwidth management features ensure maximum file transfer speeds during off-peak hours. Finally, reporters in the field are able to instantly share breaking news footage using the FileCatalyst Android app, giving Express Media Group an advantage over their competition.
“Implementing FileCatalyst was a great decision,” said Anis Ahmed, General Manager (IT) of Express Media Group. “Accelerating file transfers in a secure and reliable manner has given us the ability to maximize our bandwidth, and the mobile application has provided a major advantage over our competition. We couldn’t be happier with FileCatalyst.”
“When Express Media Group approached us about helping accelerate their file transfers, we knew we’d be able to assist,” said Unlimi-Tech’s Vice President of Sales, Dave McKeen. “FileCatalyst technology has enabled Express Media Group to streamline operations, allowing them to focus on what they do best - report the news.”
