In a study conducted by Forrester, it was reported that more than 82% of software companies reported managing software delivery to customers and partners was a challenge, with more than 66% percent relying on freemium file sharing tools risking the security and sanctity of the data.
One of Thru’s customers approached Thru with a similar challenge. This company was looking for a solution that would allow their customers to upload large files directly from their support portal, Oracle RightNOW. The files were in the size of 250MB to 5GB and they required file sharing capability to be directly integrated.
At the core, they were evaluating a robust file sharing solution that could easily plug and play with their existing support application. They wanted customers to be able to simply drop files in a pre-made Java applet to our web portal – via a Flash uploader, or HTML5 control.
