1 SEEBURGER Secure Link (SEE LINK) Secure, Reliable File Exchanges Anywhere in Your Business SEEBURGER Managed File Transfer Solutions

2 Data Protection to the Farthest Edges of Your Business Effective data exchange across your business, your systems and your supply chain is often undermined by technology on the other end.

Your offshore manufacturing or production facilities have a part-time IT person or EDI expert, if they have one at all. A lot of the data you re transmitting is sensitive, and could harm your business if the information were stolen, misdirected, late or lost. Files are also getting larger, straining your and communications systems and those on the other end. Traditional solutions, such as FTP servers and , are inefficient and insecure. How can you ensure that the right data gets to the right people and place at the right time every time? And prove this, for audit and compliance purposes?
