Biscom and Traveling Coaches, Inc. Form Strategic Business Partnership to Provide Market-Leading Secure File Transfer Solutions to Law Firms
December 10, 2009 – Biscom (www.biscom.com), the leader in document management solutions, and Traveling Coaches, Inc. (www.travelingcoaches.com), the nationally recognized training, application integration and consulting partner to law firms and corporate legal departments, today announced their strategic business partnership by offering Biscom Delivery Server, an industry-leading secure file transfer technology, to North American law firms and corporate legal departments.
“Biscom is pleased to enter into a partnership with Traveling Coaches, a company that has a proven track record of successfully deploying complex document management and content protection solutions to the legal industry”, said Charlie Magliato, Biscom’s channel manager. “Law firms are under increasing pressure to reduce cost and increase attorney and staff productivity, while complying with stringent regulations regarding intellectual property and personal data protection. Biscom Delivery Server will enable Traveling Coaches to deliver simple, affordable and secure file transfer technology to their legal clients that insure regulatory compliance and corporate governance.”
Today, law firms of all sizes are challenged with transferring volumes of increasingly large files and documents to external parties. Current methods of file exchange, such as FTP and unsecure email, impact attorney and staff productivity, increase IT administration and email storage costs, and make it difficult to collaborate with clients and outside counsel. To complicate matters further, law firms and legal departments must deploy technology to reduce the potential of unintended employee data breaches and protect client confidential data. This partnership allows legal firms and departments to meet the demanding secure file exchange requirements of today’s complex legal environment.
”Our clients have long struggled with large file transfer and Biscom has the only simple, secure solution on the market. We are excited about this partnership to provide our clients with the right technology at the right time”, said Gina Buser, CEO and co-founder of Traveling Coaches.

Biscom Delivery Server (BDS) is a web-based secure file transfer application that allows users to send and receive files over an SSL/encrypted connection. Unlike FTP or email, it provides end to end tracking, requires no encryption keys, and supports any size file. BDS addresses the performance and security problems associated with sending large files via e-mail. BDS allows intuitive ad hoc transfer of files, using e-mail to notify the recipient that a file is available for secure download. Users involved in high activity file transfer, including litigation and practice support teams, can access BDS through a web interface that offers flexible delivery, retention and receipt confirmation options. BDS also offers a Microsoft Outlook integration that allows attorneys and staff to initiate large and secure file transfer without changing user behavior. Emails with attachments that exceed corporate file size limitations or violate security policies are re-routed through the BDS secure server. BDS generates an email notification to the recipient with an embedded hyperlink for attachment download. No cumbersome FTP administration is required and collaboration with clients and business partners is dramatically enhanced.
