<p>Mobile file sharing technology provider Accellion is extending its kitepoint external file sharing tool to provide mobile users with secure access to content in enterprise content management (ECM) systems.</p><p>By integrating kitepoint with its Mobile Productivity Suite, Accellion says it is enabling mobile users to securely create, edit, view and collaborate on files and file shares stored in ECM systems behind corporate firewalls. This includes Microsoft SharePoint 2013 and Windows File Shares. No VPN is required.</p><p>Users can also create and edit enterprise files when offline for later loading into the ECM and version control ensures all edits and changes are made to the "document of record." The kitepoint extension works as a secure, containerized solution and can be deployed on a private cloud with central provisioning and security policy management across all content.</p><p>According to Cloud Pro, Accellion is attempting to solve the "Dropbox problem" of corporate data leaking unsecured onto mobile devices. A Cloud Pro article quotes Accellion executives as saying that in addition to allowing users to keep data securely on their network, the new kitepoint extension also permits users to "access your content, check it out onto your mobile, make some changes, you can share it on with people, and return it to the Enterprise Content Management (ECM) system," making it "almost like having a PC in your pocket."</p><p><a href="http://www.cmswire.com/cms/document-management/accellion-creates-secure-mobile-workflow-for-enterprise-content-management-systems-020152.php">Keep reading...</a></p>
