Blockade Deal Is Proginet's Bid to Buy User Provisioning Market Share Gartner Inc.
January 2005 – This Gartner brief profiles Proginet’s recently-announced acquisition of Blockade Systems' major assets and product lines, in addition to its customer base.
"Gartner believes this (acquisition) is a sensible consolidation of niche vendors in a mature market, particularly for password management." The brief goes on to note that by gaining a foothold in the user provisioning (UP) market, "Proginet will gain the opportunity to cross-sell UP to its password management customers, and perhaps to its file transfer customers." -Gartner

November 2004 – This report from Gartner discusses the key issues in managed file transfer (MFT) and how an enterprise's file transfer deployment should be part of an overall integration strategy. The report also notes how large organizations are increasingly looking to – and even compelled to – replace "homegrown" file transfer solutions with enterprise-level MFT suites. Regulatory mandates, such as HIPAA and Sarbanes-Oxley, are driving companies to reconsider how they secure and manage their file transfers. The bottom line? "Make your managed file transfer deployments an integral portion of your overall integration projects and strategies, ensuring tight integration within the enterprise nervous system."
"By 2007, Proginet will partner with four or more integration suite vendors offering a set of Web services to provide MFT functionality." - Gartner
