I was at the Storage Network World (SNW) event earlier this year. The speaker after me was Terri McClure, the senior analyst for Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG). Her session was titled 'Analyst Perspective: The Impact of Consumerization on File Sharing Strategies'. She validated some of the key trends and recommendations that YouSendIt is observing as well. This post summarizes some takeaways.

YouSendIt CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, will be speaking on Monday, May 6, 2013 at 3:00pm EST at Forrester's Forum For CIO, EA, Infrastructure & Ops, Security & Risk, And Sourcing Professionals in Washington DC. He will be accompanied by Rop Koplowitz, Vice President and Prinicpal Analyst at Forrester research.

This is a guest post by Elias Terman, VP of Product Marketing at OneLogin, the innovation leader in cloud-based identity and access management and a YouSendIt partner.

Identity and access management (IAM) plays an important role within organizations. Consider this real life example. You hire a new employee and issue him a corporate email address and login credentials. He uses his corporate email address to sign in to various systems you have implemented across your organization like email, CRM and your file sharing system like YouSendIt. All email communications, customer data and files belong to the organization. But what happens when that individual leaves the company? How do you, as an organization, access and control all the data produced by the employee while also ensuring that he can no longer access the data?

Abhay Rajaram, YouSendIt's VP of Customer Success, will be speaking Tuesday April 2nd at 10:30am EST at the 2013 Storage Network World Conference. 

Gartner reports that mobile data traffic is expected to grow 26-fold between 2010 and 2015.  That means that people are using their mobile devices more and more for normal daily activities and relying less on laptops or desktops.
