South River Technologies Experiences Record Growth in Education Industry

ANNAPOLIS, MD--(Marketwire - April 2, 2009) - South River Technologies, Inc. (SRT), an innovator in secure file transfer and file collaboration software, today announced increased demand for its WebDrive Universal File Access Client at colleges and universities around the world. The company added 52 educational customers in 2008. WebDrive enables easy access to files -- whether on or off of the campus network -- in a simple, intuitive way that reduces training and support requirements for University IT staff.

New educational enterprise customers for 2008 include Georgia Institute of Technology, Seton Hall University, Boston College, Temple University, University of Texas - El Paso, and the University of Western Sydney. Hundreds of colleges and universities use WebDrive to facilitate secure file access for students, staff, and faculty.

"While many vendors that offer standard file transfer clients are seeing decreases in license sales, the demand for a productivity tool like WebDrive is increasing significantly," said Michael Ryan, co-founder and CEO of South River Technologies. "The need for a streamlined approach to accessing remote files in the cloud, on corporate servers, and through hosted services within one universal interface is far more appealing than the multi-step processes required by the average file transfer client."

Because WebDrive maps a drive letter to remote servers, files can be edited without the user having to download the file, save it locally, edit it locally, and then upload the file again. WebDrive enables users to interact with remote files the same way that they interact with files on their local PCs.
