Leading Industry Analyst Firm Positions Stonebranch in the Visionaries Magic Quadrant for Managed File Transfer

Atlanta, GA (Sept. 23, 2009) – Stonebranch, the industry leader in Managed File Transfer and Job Scheduling technology, today announced that Gartner, Inc. has positioned Stonebranch in the September 2009 Visionaries Quadrant for its “Magic Quadrant for Managed File Transfer” report (L. Frank Kenney).

According to the report, “Companies should consider managed file transfer (MFT) suite vendors that meet short-term tactical and long-term strategic needs. It’s all too easy to react too quickly and procure and deploy technology that supports only one protocol or security standard. It’s much more prudent to deploy a product that can be easily expanded and upgraded to handle multiple protocols and multiple standards in a governed way that is fully auditable.”

Wolfgang Bothe, CEO of Stonebranch, said, “With the recent introduction of Scribbos ™, our secure business communications solution, Stonebranch truly provides Managed File Transfer solutions from infrastructure to people. Whether it is an end user using Scribbos for daily tasks or a Fortune 1000 company using Infitran™, our Intelligent File Transfer solution, we have the solution for every organization or individual. Our solutions provide interoperability within the enterprise and with other third party Managed File Transfer solutions, enabling businesses to reduce costs and streamline operations.”
