Since 1989, IBM Notes (formerly Lotus Notes) has been a leading
email messaging platform for thousands of businesses around the globe.
With the release of version 9.0 in March 2013, "Big Blue" has expanded
this software as a normal email client to a social email experience. But
although it has various features that help business users to "work
smarter and faster," it has limitations for businesses that have a need
to securely and efficiently transfer large files.
Email Has Its Limits for Transferring Large Files
According to a report from Osterman Research, "the typical email information worker sends and receives roughly 124 emails on a typical workday, and about 20% of these emails contain attachments." Many of these employees that send file attachments every day often need to send very large files such as videos, images, and documents that take up massive amounts of storage and bandwidth. When scaled to large enterprises with thousands of users sending and receiving large attachments every day, this forces organizations to put a limit to file size in order to maintain network and server performance - and rightly so. If there were not a maximum limit to file attachments email servers, they would get bogged down and risk being completely interrupted. To solve the problem of file size limits in email systems, many users have resorted to consumer cloud storage applications like Dropbox or OneDrive, but these solutions have proven to be unsafe for sensitive files that contain personally identifiable information.
Secure File Transfer Plugins Remove Limits in IBM Notes
The last decade has brought on multiple third-party applications that can integrate with popular email clients like IBM Notes in order to give users an improved workflow. Of these applications are IBM Notes Plugins that increase the security and efficiency of large file transfers. Secure file transfer solutions often do much more than increase the size of file attachments, they can also add other features to the IBM Notes workflow such as instant notifications when files are downloaded by recipients. This is very beneficial for businesses that constantly exchange files with external partners and customers because they can know exactly if sent files were retrieved.
IBM Notes and popular email clients like it will continue to dominate the business world for years to come. However, in order to eliminate file sharing limits, businesses will increasingly turn to third parties to supplement their existing workflows.
