REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 13, 2000--
Tumbleweed MMS offers healthcare organizations complete Internet e-mail management solution that meets proposed HIPAA encryption regulations
Tumbleweed Communications Corp.(R) TMWD , a leading provider of advanced e-mail solutions for business communications, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Glaxo Wellcome, Baxter International, Catholic Healthcare West, Tufts Health Plan and Health First in Florida have chosen Tumbleweed Messaging Management System (MMS)(TM) to secure, monitor and manage the e-mail communication stream between their employees, partners and patients on the Internet.
Tumbleweed MMS is a set of e-mail management products that enables these healthcare companies to protect sensitive data on the Internet. Each of these enterprises can use MMS to set and implement policies for Internet e-mail by applying content control, encryption, access control, attachment management, virus scanning and digital signature policies that are administered centrally and universally across their enterprise.
"At Health First we see a need to comply with government regulations surrounding Internet communication, and we also see an opportunity to strengthen ties with our customers and partners via the Internet. We needed the means to responsibly manage our e-mail communications stream now and as it grows. We chose Tumbleweed Messaging Management System (MMS) because it provides the most complete e-mail management solution on the market today," said Rich Rogers, CIO of Health First. "With Tumbleweed MMS we can centrally define and enforce compliance with our own and with the government's policies for Internet e-mail usage, without taxing either our end users or our vital IT resources."
"With the proposed strict patient privacy standards mandated by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), healthcare organizations are seeking reliable, comprehensive security frameworks that will comply to these standards," said Gary Mattson, Senior Network Security and Encryption Engineer, Catholic Healthcare West. "Tumbleweed MMS offers Catholic Healthcare West a complete online communication solution that complies with HIPAA proposed regulations, and at the same time allows us to centrally create policies to manage and control the flow of Internet e-mail communications while still remaining transparent to our end-users."
"Each of our healthcare industry customers has built a sophisticated communications network with patients and partners. And every day, each of our customers uses this communications network to transmit sensitive information," said Jeffrey C. Smith, President and CEO, Tumbleweed Communications Corp. "Using MMS, our customers may protect, manage and oversee their information assets traveling over the Internet, comply with federal security regulations and safeguard their enterprise from harmful content."
