New Capabilities in ShareFile Enable Customers
to Streamline Document Workflows, Increasing Productivity and
Collaboration Across Teams and Clients
The benefits of becoming a digital office are well-documented,
and businesses have much to gain from adopting technology that
streamlines employees’ workflows and routine processes, while
maintaining high levels of security and compliance. The modern
workplace is experiencing dramatic gains in productivity and
efficiency, while also improving the way teams and clients
collaborate from anywhere, at any time, on any device. Industry
analyst firm IDC indicates that 80 percent of businesses have
processes that still rely on paper and that most organizations are
just beginning to transform their businesses with document and
information management leading the way. Yet, 72 percent of
businesses agree that improving document processes would increase
customer satisfaction and/or increase brand value1.
With these market drivers and the influence of the more than
80,000 business customers and 20 million business users, Citrix
continues to drive innovation in its leading file sync-and-sharing
solution. These include a smarter and simpler user experience, as
well as a more streamlined way to view and take concise action on
files of all types, including getting feedback and approvals on
documents, sharing DICOM medical images, viewing 3D architectural
renderings, and even requesting and tracking audit lists. ShareFile
customers are more productive, collaborative and secure, as they
transition to the workplace of the future by evolving their
business workflows and processes from paper to digital.
What’s New in ShareFile
In today’s business environment, there is an explosion of data
and apps, and an ever-growing need for collaboration across
geographies. However, there has been no systematic way to store,
share, review or approve documents that are critical to business
functions and services until ShareFile. ShareFile is built – from
the ground up – for business, giving customers a simpler way to
collaborate with teams and clients with built-in feedback and
approval workflows.
- Users can get feedback, request
approvals and e-signatures – all within ShareFile’s web
interface.
- Track feedback and approvals in real
time with the ability to set due dates and view status at any
time.
- Eliminate the need to send documents
via email and track for version control.
ShareFile gives customers a smarter way to work with a new,
web-based dashboard and interface.
- Recently opened files are easily
accessible.
- Users can do more in less time with
easy-to-find actions and a clean, straightforward design that
enhances productivity.
- Quick access to tutorials and links are
available upon log-in to guide users step-by-step.
ShareFile provides a better, more convenient way to view every
file with its new content viewer.
- Users see a clear view of 60+ file
types without the need to wait for downloads and have the ability
to preview the most common file formats, including PDFs, without
having to leave the web browser.
- Users can conveniently share files, and
request feedback and approvals through workflows – right from the
viewer.
New and Enhanced Solutions for Industry-Specific
Solutions
Many industries, including finance, insurance and real estate,
have specific workflow and compliance needs – including support for
FINRA, HIPAA and CFPB. ShareFile addresses these needs, and can be
configured in a way that streamlines many of the common,
industry-specific use cases – particularly in Accounting and
Healthcare. The high level of customization and industry knowledge
that ShareFile provides enables customers to have workflows and
peace of mind that is tailored to their individual needs.
ShareFile for medical imaging enables customers in
healthcare-related fields to reduce their need for CDs with its
diagnostic-quality DICOM viewer and storage that supports HIPAA
compliance. Healthcare providers and payers can now request,
upload, view and share medical images in a simple, cloud-based
environment. For nearly a decade, CPAs using ShareFile for
Accounting have been able to easily exchange large QuickBooks
files, monthly statements, and tax returns. Thanks to the
most-recent improvements to ShareFile, CPAs can now create and
track PBC lists (Provided By Client Lists), and request
e-signatures for IRS forms 8879s. The request list feature
eliminates the painstaking need to rely on email and spreadsheets,
reducing complexity and error.
Quotes
Terri McClure, Senior Analyst, Cloud Infrastructure and File
Sharing, ESG
“Business leaders recognize the need to embrace a modern,
digital workplace to drive greater efficiency in business
processes. This means taking a close look at their document and
information management workflows and embracing technologies to take
the friction out of these processes while keeping data secure. By
using ShareFile’s collaborative workflow and security features,
customers and their clients benefit from more streamlined and
structured processes, speeding time to complete projects, deliver
results, and increase customer satisfaction, all while complying
with stringent security requirements.”
Byron Patrick, Managing Director, CPA Practice, Network
Alliance
“Innovations in technology, like the Citrix ShareFile new
approval workflow and request list, just keep getting
better. The approval workflow capability simplifies the
cumbersome process of collecting source documents while keeping a
CPA client’s information safe, secure and private. Firms I
work with are more efficient when collaborating with their clients,
who appreciate the simplicity of the system.”
Kevin Gardner, Operations Manager, US Framing
International
“As far as time saved, the approval workflow capability helps
out tremendously. Instead of sending multiple emails back and forth
and tracking comments and changes, they can go and comment on every
page of the document in one go around. That saves us time in the
approval conversation. We probably had a three-day turn around
for approvals before, and with the approval workflow we’ve been
able to cut a day out of that process.”
Samantha Rice, Firm Administrator, McMahan, Thomson &
Associates, P.C.
“The approval workflow feature has helped us improve our
communication on projects that require more than one team member.
It has eliminated email chains and provided a centralized location
for all feedback and changes to documents.”
Nate Spilker, Vice President ShareFile and Cloud Services,
Citrix
“Customers of all sizes are looking for solutions that allow
them to work and collaborate seamlessly from anywhere, transforming
their businesses to be more efficient and mobile. Citrix is
continuing to drive innovation in ShareFile beyond file sharing and
storage to address the workflow needs of the modern worker. Now
with a simpler user interface and industry-specific solutions,
ShareFile is helping its customers to increase productivity and
collaboration.”
