Innovative File Sharing and Collaboration Service Available from Topia Technology

Topia Technology’s SKOOT™, proposes a secure, simple file sharing and collaboration service which enables users to share impressive files in terms of size. Leaving behind email or File Transfer Protocol (FTP) services, SKOOT pledges to have the perfect (fast and easy) solution for sharing legal briefs, video, pictures, films, documents or music.

SKOOT comes to open a suite of applications designed to step in and lend a hand to those organizations that want to protect, share and move their digital assets among users. They will be able to send multiple or large files with ease, as SKOOT operates from within their native applications, allows end-to-end encryption, restores connections if interrupted, and provides a detailed status report to sender and receiver once the transfer is completed.

Digital technology has outpaced current Internet delivery methods. The proliferation of digital media intensifies the need to effortlessly and immediately send huge files over the Internet,” said Janine Terrano, founder and chief executive officer of Topia Technology, recently named one of the fastest growing companies in Washington State. “We built SKOOT using technology originally developed for the Department of Defense/US Army Intelligence Security Command. It has been tested in the most secure, demanding of conditions, and we’re now able to offer these same capabilities to businesses and individuals.

This is what makes Topia Technology proud of its service:

• End-to-end encryption
• Works from within a user's application - simply "save as" to place any file into a SKOOT workspace folder, and that file is shared with all members of the workspace.
• Handles large files like photos, videos, graphics, MP3 files easily.
• Bypasses the hassles of email and file transfer protocol (FTP) for immediate and secure transfer
• In the event of power or connectivity interruption, SKOOT remembers and resumes operation where it left off
• Limitless applications for any company currently using email or overnight delivery service for securely transferring large data files (medical information, news footage, photos, legal documents and more)

Topia Technology gained much appreciation in 2007 (when the Pentagon didn’t allow soldiers to access social networking sites like MySpace, YouTube) offering a safe, fast solution to help members of families get in contact to each other. SKOOT was donated by the company on USB drives to the spring deployment from Fort Lewis Army Base, and called the initiative Operation TroopSKOOT. This led to hundreds of troops building-up their own Private Family Networks®, to enjoy a secure environment for communication and sharing of data, while going around email and prohibited Internet sites.
