[April 05, 2005] Pipeline Software Launches Revolutionary Web-Based File Transfer System -- Pipeline eXchange Tweet IRVINE, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- April 5, 2005 -- Easy-to-Use and Cost-Effective Service Allows Companies to Securely Exchange Large and/or Confidential Files with Trading Partners, Suppliers and Customers Pipeline Software Inc., which provides the technology mid-size companies use to efficiently and cost-effectively connect with their customers, suppliers and trading partners, announces the launch of Pipeline eXchange(TM), its revolutionary Web-based file transfer system. Pipeline eXchange(TM) (www.pipelinex.com) allows companies to securely exchange large and/or confidential files with trading partners, suppliers and customers. The system functions as an on-demand (pay-per-use) service, doesn't require end-users to buy, install or maintain hardware/software, and can be set up in minutes. According to Pipeline's Roberto Zampiglia, senior vice president of sales, Pipeline eXchange(TM) is a flexible, cost-effective alternative to e-mail attachment size limitations (typically 2-5 MB) and costly, high-maintenance FTP systems -- especially when secure file transmission and activity audits are mandated. "Increasingly, mid-size companies are discovering that their corporate e-mail systems and FTP capabilities no longer meet their large file transfer and audit trail needs," said Zampiglia. "IT and IS managers are being challenged to find new, innovative ways to manage these files in a secure, cost-friendly environment. The Pipeline eXchange(TM) hosted offering is the solution. It's a service that efficiently and safely manages large file transfers, is easy on corporate budgets, and requires no maintenance from end-users. Plus, it provides capacity for future growth." Zampiglia points out key features of Pipeline eXchange(TM): -- Security -- Pipeline eXchange(TM) employs encryption, access codes and audit trace logs to ensure safe data transmission over the Internet. -- Branding -- A company can easily integrate Pipeline eXchange(TM) within its corporate Web site, creating a file exchange portal for trading partners, suppliers and customers. -- Automation -- Pipeline eXchange(TM) fully manages details such as notification, security and storage. -- Affordability -- Pipeline eXchange(TM) service starts at only $200 per month for unlimited users/unlimited file transfers. A free 15-day trial account can be set up through www.pipelinex.com. Mitrix, provider of an on-demand Supply Chain Management (SCM) solution for small and mid-sized enterprises, is an early user of Pipeline eXchange(TM). Mitrix CEO Ed Lewis stated: "Our corporate e-mail system could no longer accommodate the increasingly large files we were exchanging with our key partners, nor could it support the level of security that we require on certain sensitive documents. We looked into FTP as a solution, but the amount of administration and maintenance required made it too labor-intensive and expensive." "With Pipeline eXchange(TM), though, Mitrix staff are now securely and cost-effectively exchanging large business-critical files with partners," noted Lewis. "And it's an easy process. We upload and download files from anywhere using just a Web browser, and we don't have to deal with a cumbersome FTP client." About Pipeline Software,Inc.
