OpenText has announced free enterprise file sharing and synchronisation for OpenText Content Suite 10.5 users, who will qualify for an unlimited number of OpenText Tempo Box licenses

"Companies need a simple, integrated solution for employees that offers a level of governance to ensure corporate data is well protected," said Muhi Majzoub, senior vice president of engineering, OpenText. 

"While there are low-cost consumer options available, none offer the security and data control benefits of an enterprise solution. With Tempo Box, employees have the file sharing solution they want and companies have confidence that the enterprise remains protected with consistent governance."

Tempo Box will be available as part of the Content Suite 10.5 Platform, core of the OpenText Content Suite. Customers can access, share and synchronise enterprise information, while leveraging the latest smartphones and tablets. As previously announced, Tempo Box has also been made available to customers of OpenText Extended ECM for SAP 10.5. It will also be available for OpenText Extended ECM for Oracle 10.5.

Backed by OpenText ECM, Tempo Box's secure management for the enterprise allows organisations to:

* Remotely wipe mobile devices of any proprietary company data when necessary

* Set and manage access permissions, retention policies and file storage

* Securely communicate between the repository and Web, desktop and mobile clients using 256-bit SSL encryption

* Encrypt mobile device content for iOS, Android and Blackberry.
