Accellion, Inc., the award-winning pioneer in providing enterprise-class, secure mobile file sharing solutions, today announced it received a “Strong Positive” rating in the Gartner MarketScope for “Enterprise File Synchronization and Sharing” based on evaluation of its Accellion Secure Mobile File sharing solutions.¹ This is the highest rating possible.

Accellion was evaluated against the following criteria: Overall Viability, Product/Service, Sales Execution/Pricing, Customer Experience, Market Strategy, Offering (Product) Strategy and Innovation.

The MarketScope notes that “enterprise file synchronization and sharing (EFSS) offerings enable productivity and collaboration for mobile workers who use multiple devices, such as smartphones and media tablets, in addition to PCs. Organizations must deploy EFSS services to secure enterprise information assets. Failure to provide these capabilities will subject organizations to information leakage threats caused by users who move data through uncontrolled personal cloud services.”

“Mobile devices represent a significant risk for enterprise data leakage and IT has the challenge of equipping mobile workers with solutions that not only enable mobile productivity but also ensure data security and compliance,” said Paula Skokowski, chief marketing officer, Accellion, Inc. “We are honored that Gartner recognizes Accellion. We are one of the few providers to address the growing need for mobile file synchronization and sharing services with a solution that provides enterprise-quality security features designed to protect confidential enterprise content and also enable compliance with HIPAA, SOX, GLBA and other government and industry regulations.”
