GlobalSCAPE, Inc. Featured in CRN’s 2016 Cloud Computing Partner Program Guide
Recognized for Unique Cloud Partner Requirements and Benefits Program

SAN ANTONIO, TX – September 26, 2016 – GlobalSCAPE, Inc. (NYSE MKT: GSB), a pioneer and worldwide leader in the secure and reliable exchange of business information, has been selected for CRN’s 2016 Cloud Computing Partner Program Guide, a list of leading technology vendors with cloud-related partner programs that enable and accelerate the growth of solution providers' cloud initiatives.

As organizations look to their IT investments to positively impact business objectives, many companies turn to cloud applications and deployments as an efficient alternative to replace outdated or insufficient infrastructure. Globalscape’s EFT Cloud ServicesSM provides organizations with a secure managed file transfer (MFT) solution in either a hybrid cloud or virtual environment, with the ability to work with top hosting providers.

As a managed cloud-based MFT software-as-a-service (SaaS) offering, EFT Cloud Services allows users to implement and run its data exchange platform on leading cloud services. EFT Cloud Services is aimed at users or organizations that may not have the desire or the IT resources to directly manage their file transfer ecosystem but need to quickly get up and running in the cloud.

With EFT Cloud Services at its core, Globalscape’s Cloud Partner Program encourages and protects partners' investments in Globalscape by providing superior margins, award winning pre- and post-sales support and easy access to cloud resources.

The CRN 2016 Cloud Computing Partner Program Guide serves as a valuable resource for solution providers navigating the booming cloud marketplace, helping them to identify technology suppliers that offer innovative cloud solutions and partner programs. To qualify for participation in the Cloud Partner Program Guide, technology vendors must have a unique set of partner program benefits for solution providers that deliver cloud infrastructure or applications.
