As Market Contracts, Big Companies Switch to Hilgraeve’s HyperSend Secure Internet Data Transfer Platform

Monroe, Mich., January 14, 2003 - Hilgraeve, Inc., a long-time leader in data communications software, announced that several companies have recently switched to its HyperSend Internet data transfer platform to exchange information securely with parties outside corporate firewalls.

Noteworthy examples include Principal Financial Group and Motorola. A number of of the companies switching to HyperSend were former clients of UPS Document Exchange and of Private Express, both of which have ceased operations.

Each organization investigated a variety of alternatives before selecting HyperSend as their secure messaging solution. HyperSend is a highly customizable secure Internet delivery platform with workflow automation, central management, and industry-leading security technology.

HyperSend establishes a secure, reliable, and controlled data channel through the Internet and authenticates, encrypts and tracks deliveries in accordance with Federal regulations. Files or messages may be of any size or type including: financial transactions, banking, real estate, investments, filings, legal contracts, depositions, proceedings, sensitive business documents, supply chain data, purchase orders, invoices, transactions, contracts, and health records.

HyperSend enables users to exchange sensitive information securely with anyone in the world, through a web browser. Its powerful capabilities also enable companies to exchange data automatically – even among unattended computers. The secure data platform offers a number of deployment options, including easy centralized deployment and seamless integration into existing web sites and portals. HyperSend requires virtually no training or maintenance by an IT staff and can be implemented very quickly.

“Virtually every enterprise is adopting strategies to protect and ship sensitive data electronically,” said Matt Gray, president and CEO of Hilgraeve, Inc. “The most effective strategies meet Federal communication regulations and provide significant cost savings and competitive advantages. We’ve leveraged our 20 years of addressing secure enterprise communication needs and merged our software with industry-standard security technology to create a proven web-based communication product.”

“HyperSend has been widely adopted in the healthcare industry as a secure method for exchanging patient-related information through the Internet,” said Matt Gray, president and CEO of Hilgraeve, Inc. “It uses highly regarded industry-standard encryption protocols that pass effortlessly through firewalls and ensure safe, reliable transfer of healthcare data of all kinds – lab reports, HL7 data, charting or claims information, even large medical images – among service providers, hospitals, medical practices, and our healthcare business partners,” Mr. Gray continued.
