Press Release

Accellion, Inc., the award-winning pioneer in providing enterprise-class, secure and mobile file sharing solutions, and Good Technology™, the leader in secure enterprise mobility solutions, today announced the general availability of the Accellion Mobile App for Good Technology, integrating the latest version of native Accellion Mobile Apps with the Good Dynamics mobile application platform.  The companies have also entered into a channel partnership for joint selling and business development.
Accellion Mobile Apps allow users to collaborate and view more than 200 different file types, edit and share files from a secure, encrypted container directly using smartphones and tablets.  Good Dynamics is the first mobile application platform that lets developers build secure, containerized iOS apps for leading consumer mobile devices.  

Accellion Mobile App for Good, powered by Good Dynamics, provides a secure mobile network for Accellion’s enterprise mobile file sharing solution to ensure that today's mobile workforce, in the most highly regulated industries like Financial Services, Government, Healthcare and Legal, can collaborate with added layers of privacy, safety and efficiency from any location using their iPhone® and iPad® devices.  Accellion Mobile App for Good offers enterprise organizations a complete enterprise mobility solution with email, messaging, device, mobile apps and content all secured and in compliance.

“Enterprises are adopting iPads and tablets at a record pace.  With those devices, they are also inadvertently adopting consumer grade cloud storage solutions that disperse critical enterprise data among consumer cloud services like iCloud, SkyDrive and others,” said Sunita Reddy, Director of Product Strategy at Accellion.  “Unfortunately, the risks of data leakage and compliance challenges for certain organizations, especially in healthcare, government, and financial services, have greater consequences than others. The combination of Accellion technology with Good Dynamics enables customers to comply with regulatory mandates for privacy, compliance and control.”
