Best Places to Work 2011

If you ask any ShareFile employee, they will tell you “this is the best place to work!” We like coming to work every day- it’s just that simple. We have an awesome atmosphere and company culture here at ShareFile and I’m honored to be a part of such a great team. ShareFile has been very successful in creating a positive work environment that attracts and retain employees. Not only do we, as employees, think it’s the best place to work, but so does everyone else…

It has now been made public that ShareFile really is one of the best places to work. Yesterday, the Triangle Business Journal unveiled its list of the 2011 Best Places to Work in the Triangle area. ShareFile was named among the Best Places to Work within the medium-sized companies in the Triangle.

Next Biggest Boom Town in the U.S.? You Guessed It- Raleigh, NC!

I was born in Raleigh and have lived here my whole life (something that is hard to find these days due to the large number of new immigrants). In fact, the net migration rate to Raleigh was the second highest in the U.S. over the past five years- a surprising statistic to some.

According to Forbes, Raleigh ranked number two in the “Next Big Boom Towns” list in the U.S. Raleigh has experienced the second-highest overall population increase and the third-highest job growth rate over the past two decades. Raleigh is a “magnet for technology companies fleeing the more expensive, congested and highly regulated northeastern corridor.”

CED Venture- All Things Tech

ShareFile was selected to participate in the Demo Room at CED’s All Things Tech Venture Conference on April 27-28, 2011 at the Raleigh Convention Center. The Demo Room features more than 70 of the region’s most promising start-up technology companies. As a Demo Room participant, ShareFile will get the opportunity to take part in a “Lightening Round,” where our very own Nate Spilker, VP of Client Services, will present a two minute overview of our company.

The majority of the presenting companies at the Venture conference are seeking funding from VCs. Instead, our unique pitch will present a quick company overview and invite attendees to visit our booth and check out a product demonstration. We want to uphold our core value of being customer centric and we will remain committed to our customers by not seeking any funding. In fact, we have adopted a corporate slogan, “Funded By Our Customers,” which has resulted in a tremendous customer adoption rate, with a recent cross over 15,000 corporate customers and two million users.

The First of Two Million

Working at ShareFile for the past three years, I have had the opportunity to meet some fascinating people and learn about great businesses. Speaking with people about how they plan to use the product and helping to meet (and hopefully exceed) their needs is truly rewarding both personally and professionally. Now that our company has reached the remarkable milestone of reaching 2 million users worldwide, I’ve also had the chance to look back to touch base with one of our clients who started it all by taking the leap of faith to give ShareFile a try.

Thank you for helping us reach 2,000,000 users!

ShareFile is excited to announce that over 2 million people have utilized our file transfer software to send and receive important business files! Since the international release of the web-based service in 2005, ShareFile has been enthusiastically accepted by companies in the accounting, legal, medical, finance, and advertising industries as a great improvement over file transfer methods such as sending files as email attachments or traditional FTP. With clients and partners clamoring for the convenience of web-based communication, and more regulations regarding management of digital records, many businesses have found a convenient solution in ShareFile’s web-based system that requires little set up or effort from the end user, while offering the most robust security and auditing features available. We are delighted that our service has been able to improve the workflow of such a wide variety of companies- from independent photographers, to leading architectural firms.

Our core goal, to raise the bar for service in the technology sector, guides all decisions made at the company, and we hope to show our clients how much we appreciate their choice to work with ShareFile by offering outstanding support to each account. While millions of people use the ShareFile service, dedicated account managers reach out to each new account to ensure that accounts are able to get started and use the service immediately and effectively. We also began 2011 by increasing our telephone support hours to 8am-7pm EST to better accommodate our client’s diverse schedules. We hope that these policies will help make us a great software solution for more businesses. Moreover, it should also to make getting help and setting up an account even easier and more convenient for all of our current users.
