Users need dependable, secure access to files anytime, anywhere – without the slowdowns of VPN or FTP.  Many organizations users connect to their stored files via a VPN, FTP or unique portal service.  This may work efficiently when using a particular PC at the office, but remote users in the field or in remote offices will experience connectivity issues – at the very least slow access. 

Problem: a law firm supports hundreds of customers with a small staff.  Two or three attorneys often collaboratively support a single client, so there is a need to collaborate outside of email easily and securely.   Distribution of documents via email is a concern due to the volume of documents, the ability to track different versions of the document being revised, and the inability to email large files as attachments. 

Solution: The Mezeo Access Cloud Storage Solution provides a secure solution with multiple access clients, enabling: 

• Access and share files from anywhere: Mezeo offers multiple options way to store, share and access data.  Files are easily accessible in a variety of ways; through a Windows^® desktop, Web browser, using BlackBerry^®  and iPhone smartphones or any WebDAV access (Mac and Linux).
• Collaboration on the go: It doesn’t stop at simply accessing and viewing.  Remote users can share and collaborate using the Projects functionality.  The most recent version is always available, there is no file size restriction and multiple file types are supported.
• Highest levels of security: Most importantly, access does not affect security of information.  Files are completely secured, with industry-leading AES 256-bit encryption in storage and through SSL when in transit.  So, even when documents are shared outside the law firm, the highest security standards are enforced.
