As more and more network administrators lock down their
network to protect against new threats, the burden of
dealing with new security procedures falls upon the
user at the desktop, causing a tremendous loss of efficiency
and more headaches than ever.
For example, the trend in locking out executable file
attachments, while certainly prudent, causes frustration
among workers, who increasingly need to request that
files be resent in an archive format their network administrator
approves. This new form of frustration further manifests
itself in an expensive loss of productivity.
As technology advances, new compression formats become
the format of choice by various administrators. Zip
is no longer the De facto standard. After all, if a
better format offers 70% more compression, the cost
savings are quite obvious when it is time to update
your systems.
All of this leaves us with a problem. Does your company
support the compression format your customers and vendors
support? Will they be able to comply with your requirements?
Are you willing to comply with theirs? And with all
of this, is there a simple way for your workstation
users to deal with these issues?
Most likely the compression software you have deployed
right now won't help you in this regard. After all,
the 'Zip' products support the 'Zip' format. Furthermore,
while they may be familiar to your users, do they really
make their lives easier, especially considering the
e-mail attachment issues discussed above?
Archive XP solves many of these problems:
• By offering full support for more archive types
than any other compression utility, your users will
scarcely come across an archive they cannot open.
• Unlike most other archive utilities, by seamlessly
integrating into the Windows desktop, users can operate
within the Windows explorer with no learning curve.
Archives behave just like normal folders, so there is
no confusion.
• Archive XP further simplifies things by fully
integrating with Microsoft Outlook. With this feature,
any file dragged into outlook as an attachment can be
automatically compressed into the archive of your choice.
This is due to the increasing requirement of Archive-Only
files as attachments by many network administrators.
Users will no longer have to think about how they are
sending files, what they are sending, and if it will
be allowed through the server.
