GLOBALedit Announces the Launch of FileSociety



The revolutionary web service that allows professionals to manage and transfer large files up to 100 times faster than FTP.

NEW YORK, Feb. 10 /- Today GLOBALedit(R), the leader in online workflow software officially launched a break-through service called FileSociety(TM) that is changing the way large digital files are transported around the world. Replacing outdated methods such as FTP and DVD shipping, GLOBALedit(R) designed FileSociety(TM) for professionals looking for faster, greener and smarter tools to collaborate and share files.

FileSociety(TM) was designed and developed for demanding, file-based workflows such as film, photo and audio production, advertising and marketing, publishing, printing, research and medical, architecture, retail and event production. FileSociety(TM) is the remedy for archaic, slow and insecure FTP, costly shipping services. This innovative web service transports huge files such as video, graphics, digital images, and schematics with blazing speed from any web browser.

FileSociety(TM) is a new service powered by Aspera's next-generation fasp(TM) transport technology for high-performance file transfer up to 100 times the speed of FTP. This 'best-of-breed' partnership ushers in an efficient new mode of sending digital assets of any size through any network at maximum speed, regardless of conditions or distance with complete security built-in. FileSociety(TM) is a one of a kind, much anticipated reincarnation of file transfer.

Steve Kalalian, President of GLOBALedit(R) states, "We're very excited about building FileSociety(TM) because it solves so many core problems for our clients in the creative industry as well as other industries that need to send large files quickly and safely over the Internet. Everything is digital, files keep getting bigger, and everyone needs them faster -- we built FileSociety(TM) to give busy professionals the tools to control their files instead of being controlled by them."

McGraw-Hill, Victoria's Secret, Showtime, Pentagram, Saatchi & Saatchi and Warner Brothers are all enthusiastic early adopters of FileSociety(TM) and are currently sending massive files long distance with the only software service in existence that offers them an unrivaled combination high-speed technology, genius receipt messaging and steadfast security.

Carl Hixson Vice President, Digital Asset Management McGraw-Hill Companies comments, "FileSociety opens entirely new opportunities for our company. A typical layout file that would previously have taken 30 minutes to transfer to a design office in Asia now takes 11 seconds. Multiply this across the volume of files that we move and it's a game changer. The system is also under the control of our creative staff which gives them the freedom and speed to take control of the production process. This is an important innovation."

Overnight shipping, unreliable links and expensive plane tickets are passe for smart professionals who now have a handle on 'heavy lifting' with FileSociety(TM).
