The company realized that SecureZIP Enterprise Edition and PartnerLink would solve their security issues, and therefore purchased the product for their desktops and mainframes. This enabled them to send encrypted data to external customers from either operating platform, ensuring information remained protected at all times. Employees could encrypt data easily and exchange information securely from their desktops throughout the organization. The company brand was protected, as well as all data being sent from their organization to large business partners and internal resources alike.

The Application Integration feature of SecureZIP for z/OS® provided our client the ability to stream data directly into, or out of, a secure ZIP container, improving operating efficiencies within the data center while ensuring data remained protected, without ever staging it to disk. Extensive testing of this feature has shown elapsed processing times reduced by up to 600% and CPU clock times reduced by up to 60%.
