Summary


Company Background
Our client is a leading provider of workers’ compensation insurance, established to help small- to mid-sized businesses facing rising insurance costs to better afford coverage.

Challenges and Requirements
The company’s legal department was generating legal briefs containing sensitive claim information in hard copy and then filing them away for storage. This was not efficient and took up a lot of physical space throughout the office.

The company began storing their information in electronic format for increased efficiency. They began utilizing a Websphere application on their i5/OS midrange system that enabled their distributed legal team to centrally generate files. They then wanted to take those documents and convert them to PDF and encrypt them with AS400 passphrase encryption to ensure the data was secure.

Competitive Landscape
The company initially looked to their core system software provider for the security they required, but they were unable to offer the required encryption capabilities. They then consulted with Gartner analysts who suggested SecureZIP. Patrick Townsend was the other option considered. After evaluating both solutions, the company selected SecureZIP because it provided more features and a higher level of functionality, including the ability to compress files.

The Solution - SecureZIP
With SecureZIP, the company can now encrypt the sensitive PDF files generated on their i5/OS systems. These secured files can then be saved to CD, DVD, and/or backup tapes for long-term storage. SecureZIP also enables the ability to send the information securely via email attachments from their i5/OS machines to other parts of the company, including legal firms outside of their corporate network.
