Problem
Tilt Technology was using a file sharing solution, Cornerstone, that did not have a mobile or web application, so remote accessibility was a huge issue.
They were also suffering from other issues with the software: updates were frequently causing compatibility issues in their system - which would shut everything down until a fix could be applied. The man hours required to regularly apply bug fixes to get the server running was becoming a strain on business. They were also having trouble using Cornerstone to share files: file compression did not work well, which increased wait times and put additional strain on the system.
Also, �it didn't give us true location to location accessibility - so our customers weren�t able to easily access the files from wherever they wanted to access them from,� said Bill Stanford, co-founder of Tilt Technology.
Tilt wanted an easy solution for file sharing - something that would be compatible with their system, a file sharing solution that would be fast, user friendly, and easily accessible from anywhere.
Solution
Tilt Technology decided to integrate CentreStack. They use the software as both a standard offering in their cloud services and as a file sharing solution for non-cloud users, so they can easily share files between different server locations.
CentreStack solves the issue of ease of use and accessibility for Tilt Technology�s clients. CentreStack storage looks like just another storage drive on a computer. There is no complex interface - you can easily move files between folders just as if it were on your own computer.
�When our clients use CentreStack, it's like a nice mapped drive that can transfer back and forth to the file server - on their aspect it looks like any mapped drive as it would on a network environment - so they minimally have to hassle with getting it connected if it is disconnected,� said Bill.
For Tilt Technology, the beauty of using CentreStack is that it feels like a seamless part of the process, rather than an entirely separate software. �So far I have not found anyone else that allows us to do that,� Bill said.
