Advertising/Marketing/Media
In the collaboration-driven world of advertising, marketing and media, distributed teams and global alliances of firms work together. This usually means sharing large digital photos, PDFs, graphics files, web designs or written documents with colleagues hundreds or thousands of miles away. Using e-mail, FTP or Windows file-sharing to transfer huge files can mean many minutes or even hours waiting for them. Learn how Packeteer has helped these companies collaborate more effectively to deliver high-value for their customers.
With Packeteer's iShared solution, branch office employees of this leading pharmaceutical marketing agency are now able to open, save and manage files faster than ever before, shrinking the time it takes to open a standard PowerPoint presentation across the WAN from over 14 minutes to just nine seconds.
Deployment of Packeteer iShared solution has allowed Factiva to consolidate data from remote branch offices to a centralized data center while still providing LAN-like access to the data for these remote branch employees not only saving on IT administrative costs, but also improving employee productivity by providing everyone access to up-to-date files.
