Greg Hoffer, Vice President of Engineering at Globalscape
“As work environments become increasingly distributed, real-time collaboration on large, critical files such as spreadsheets, CAD drawings, engineering blueprints, or MRI images is an ever-more vital business imperative. Working with colleagues and partners distributed across the globe—without frustrating slowness, costly delays, consistency errors, or versioning problems—is a huge advantage to employee efficiency and productivity. With WAFS 5, distance and file size is not an issue. Complex files can be sent over a WAN at LAN speeds and are accessible to end users across multiple offices around the world.”
