AttachWay for Outlook Web Access
Attach and send internal documents with their
emails directly from OWA
Product
Overview
For the 1st time Outlook Web Access users have the ability to
attach and send internal documents with their emails.
Simply hit OWA's Attachments button and users can now fully browse their
internal folders, locate files and send as normal.
Email used to be more about sending messages now it’s become the primary
means for electronic document delivery. Email has gone from being a letter
postal service to a package Courier. It's estimated that nearly 50% of corporate
email contains attachments. So that means without full attachment access
standard OWA mail is less then 50% useful at best. We believe attachment
delivery is the most mission critical function of email. There are lots of
alternatives to sending plain messages, phone, SMS but only one established easy
way to send files that's Email. AttachWay empowers Outlook Web Access so your
users can carry out their most important and critical tasks.
AttachWay is the killer Outlook Web Access Enhancement extending enterprise
security and productivity. AttachWay delivers;
» Enhanced Security as no documents need to be downloaded in order to send
them
» Secure viewing of documents prior to sending is built in.
» Huge bandwidth saving as files remain inside until exchange sends them, no
downloading or uploading required.
» Group productivity as AttachWay even allows you to save existing attachments
to your internal folders.
Outlook Like user experience
User navigation is simple and much like MS Outlook as users are initially
presented with their default home directory and short cuts. Typically they now
have access to the same folders as in the office. AttachWay even allows users to
save their attachments back to internal shares. Example, Imagine you receive an
important sales price list attachment, you could now save it to a folder that
the entire sales staff could access without ever leaving OWA.
How it works
AttachWay binds the located files to the
body of your composing email as a standard Exchange attachment. Once the send
button is pressed your exchange server takes care of the rest and sends the
combined message and attachment. The message and attachment are stored in your
sent folder. The best part no documents to download and reupload. Built on our
intelligent FileWay Management wizard, AttachWay allows messaging management to
quickly map users with their shares and internal folders. It maintains a dynamic
interface to Active Directory so as users and groups change their shares and
file access update automatically, set it up once and forget it. No additional
sign-on is required as AttachWay seamlessly integrates to OWA.
Click the AttachWay button.

Enhanced Security
As you know standard Outlook Web Access limits users to local browsing only for
documents to attach. If the files they want are at work what do they do? Use a
VPN and download, FTP or some copy important documents to CDs and USB drives and
carry them around. In any case they are using the documents on un-trusted
computers and leaving copies of the documents behind on workstation and the CDs
they carry eventually get lost. At the very least they remain in the browsers
cache of the untrusted computer for he next user to find. AttachWay eliminates
all of these security holes by allowing users to access their internal shares so
no documents are downloaded and left behind. AttachWay even interfaces with our
FileWay and SecureView for OWA products allowing Secure document viewing and
management. Combined they are a Powerful suite of OWA enhancement products.
