Secure Your Content

Performance
I tried out the system briefly, creating both personal and team folders, adding some content, adding another user, etc. For the most part, the system performed as expected. I had no problems at all using the application on my Windows 7 PC. The browser version worked fine overall, but the Web version's performance using the Chrome browser was subpar, so I'd recommend using another browser for now. My colleague, who I created an account for, tried installing the Mac application. He ran into a few glitches, but they might have been specific to his configuration. I did not try all of the mobile apps, but I did install the iPad app on an iPad 2 running iOS 5, and the experience was satisfactory.
Implications
Increasingly, small to midsize RIA firms are coming to the realization that cloud computing can lower their operating costs and improve their efficiency. The cloud computing revolution among advisors, however, has been hampered by security concerns. SafeSync for Business proves that a cloud file storage solution can provide a high level of security at a very affordable price. As an added benefit, SafeSync includes value-added services such as file synchronization, easy secure file sharing and access across multiple computing platforms. SafeSync will no doubt attract some advisory firms as clients, but even those who don't use it will surely realize that secure cloud storage has arrived. It is only a matter of time until the majority of advisors begin adopting similar cloud solutions.
