Customer Overview:
YouSendIt, Inc. is the leading provider of extended enterprise collaboration services, with millions of registered users in 193 countries across 98 percent of the Fortune 500. The company’s online services span from simple file sharing to a comprehensive content collaboration suite of services that allow users across an entire organization to securely share content, sign documents, and access files from any mobile device or PC.
Business Challenge:
YouSendIt had been using Internap’s IP connectivity for several years when the company began plans to expand its suite of integrated tools for sending, sharing and signing business content online. Part of the company’s strategy included expanding its European market. At the time, YouSendIt was using another well-known storage and connectivity provider in Europe, but the company sought a more flexible, customized and tailored solution. YouSendIt needed a new partner that could provide a total package: costeffective storage with the ability to expand quickly, backed by a highly reliable network and top-of-the-line technical support.
Results
- Saved on overall storage costs compared to previous provider.
- Increased scalability to rapidly grow with its exponentially expanding customer base.
- Added flexibility to deployment platforms and increased speed so customers can instantly connect and receive files.
Bottom Line:
YouSendIt initially established a relationship with Internap for IP connectivity and consulting services. Since that time the alliance has grown both domestically and internationally to include managed hosting. With the massive growth in collaborative applications, YouSendIt again chose Internap as its provider for a cloud collaboration service that offers integrated tools for sending, sharing and signing documents online. Now thanks to flexible unlimited storage in partnership with Internap, YouSendIt can reach its 30 million registered users today and expand to future customers tomorrow.
