among those empowering their workforce and customers with modern
tools
As organizations of all sizes embrace digital transformation and
adopt new technologies, business document sharing workflows like
those in Citrix ShareFile are a critical solution to how work gets
done. Businesses that are investing in ensuring that employees,
customers and partners are able to collaborate on business
documents across any device, at any time, while maintaining a high
level of security, are experiencing increased productivity and ROI.
According to ‘The 2016 State of Digital Transformation’ research by
Altimeter, 41% of leaders surveyed said they’ve witnessed an
increase in market share due to digital transformation efforts, and
37% cite a positive impact on employee morale.
Saving Time and Physical Space, While Improving Interactions
with Clients
At Steve Nelson’s CPA practice, keeping client documents secure
at all times was a big challenge given the amount of files required
to be shared in order to get work done. Attaching documents to
emails was simply not an option and using outdated FTP (file
transfer protocol) solutions without proven secure file sharing
capabilities were off the table. To solve this security challenge,
Steve found Citrix ShareFile which not only offered his firm a
secure and easy way to share files but also provided his clients a
way to easily send and receive files electronically. Instead of
depending on physically mailing documents, which normally took 2-4
days, his firm is able to instantly send and receive documents
securely which saves time. As a result, his team has saved a week
worth of work during tax season, reduced physical storage space
need for paper filing and provided his clients a collaborative tool
that increases overall productivity for both parties. Implementing
ShareFile has allowed him to grow his business by 10% by lowering
overhead, paper and office space costs.
Real Time Document Collaboration Delivers Greater Safety and
Improves Productivity
When pilots are flying with their devices at 30,000 feet at any
given time, how do you securely deliver and collaborate on
documents that are critical to the safety of passengers and crew?
Fair Wind Air Charter was faced with the challenge of keeping these
devices synced, in real time so their entire staff including
pilots, mechanics, and crew had the latest information. To comply
with FAA rules and regulations including redundancy, security of
access and a slew of requirements, the company needed a solution
that went beyond consumer grade features and functionality. As a
result of implementing ShareFile, the company has now set up each
of their aircrafts as separate clients which gives them individual
granular control over the types of libraries and files they can
access, read, edit, upload and download. Whether they are on the
ground or in the air, pilots now are able to synch documents in
real time. Reliability combined with useful features like the
ability to securely send and request files via the Outlook plug-in
have made getting work done more efficient. Additionally, real time
document status updates to see when a document is accessed,
downloaded and edited ensures all parties are up to date. For
example, when a FAA employee receives or sends a file, Fair Wind
Air Charter instantly gets an activity notification. Since
implementing ShareFile, the company has seen improved productivity,
reduced paper usage and expanded ShareFile use into other parts of
the business, like finance.
