A couple of weeks ago, Jennifer wrote a blog on workshifting, which is the ability to work from anywhere, anytime, on any device. Let’s face it – people are busy in both their work and personal life. Because of this, both ShareFile and Citrix have worked diligently to create products that enable workers to complete their assignments from virtually anywhere imaginable. Our Marketing team has recently implemented workshifting into our routine, and the benefits have proven endless – flexible schedules and increased productivity, and in turn, more engaged employees.

Have you ever stopped to think about how much money and time your office spends on stamps, envelopes, printer ink, paper, shipping materials, etc.? The average office worker goes through 10,000 sheets of copy paper per year, equating to four million tons of copy paper used every year!

The costs associated with shipping documents can be quite expensive and very time consuming. Due to the USPS announcement to close more than 200 processing centers, you will likely (if not already) experience rising costs, making it cumbersome if your firm relies specifically on shipping as a method of document delivery.

If you follow ShareFile on Twitter or if you’re a fan of the ShareFile Facebook page, you’ve probably seen that we are hiring. Well, I’m here to give you the top 5 reasons (there are many more) to consider joining our rapidly growing team. Ready?

Forget about wasting your time with traditional FTP services. ShareFile for Legal offers a way to send large files directly from your email. The ShareFile Outlook Plug-in allows you to insert links to your files, upload and send new files, and request files directly from Microsoft Outlook. You can also choose for all attachments to be sent via ShareFile rather than your internal email server.

When composing email messages using the Outlook Plug-in, you will be given three new buttons: Send a File, Request a File and Send from ShareFile.

Today I had the opportunity to interview Account Manager, Kelley Figg. Kelley engages with customers on a daily basis. Take a look below at out interview.

Kelley, tell me about your role here at ShareFile. I started with ShareFile in early October 2011, right before the Citrix acquisition. My main role is to provide our clients with exceptional customer service throughout the life of their account. We reach out to our clients and train them on how to use our service in their office. As an Account Manager, we dedicate ourselves to making a client’s experience with ShareFile as easy and seamless as possible. We build lasting relationships with our clients and provide them with support if they should ever run into any issues.

Need an easy and secure way to send files to clients and co-counsel? ShareFile for Legal helps law firms of all sizes securely exchange files with employees, clients, and experts. Encrypted, web-based transfer allows your firm to eliminate traditional file transfer methods such as courier services, unsecure email and fax. Cloud-based storage and backup reduce the burden on your existing servers. With an easy-to-use interface, ShareFile keeps set up and administrative effort to a minimum.

When I started at ShareFile, I didn’t expect that I’d spend a workday building a road under the watchful (or was it hungry?) gaze of nearby tigers, but thanks to Citrix’s Global Day of Impact, that’s exactly how I spent last Friday. Corporate Citizenship is very important to the cultures of both ShareFile and Citrix, and to encourage community service and volunteerism, every employee is given an extra day off to volunteer in their community.

For our Global Day of Impact, we headed to Carolina Tiger Rescue, a nonprofit wildlife sanctuary whose mission is saving and protecting wild cats in captivity and in the wild. Housing 14 tigers, 3 lions, and an assortment of other wildcats from ocelots to binturongs, the Rescue takes in animals from bad situations and cares for them for life. Many of the animals were used irresponsibly by their previous owners. A lion named Sebastian was part of a Haunted House in Texas, while another lion named Tarzan was used as an attraction at a hotel in Mexico. Two of the tigers, Rajah and Kaela, were found wandering a highway near Charlotte, NC.
