We are all excited to welcome our new CEO, Brad Garlinghouse. Brad comes from holding senior executive positions at both Yahoo! and AOL. Brad is an experienced leader with a proven track record of growing companies that take market share by building and delivering products that customers want and need.

This is the fourth year in a row that YouSendIt has been nominated for a Stevie Award. We are all very honored to be a finalist once again. We are a finalist again for the Fastest Growing Tech Company of the Year - Up to 2,500 Employees.

Even with the market becoming more and more saturated, we continue to see growth within our business. We increased 59% in paid subscribers in Q1, and we grew registered user by 71%! We are currently at 585,000 paid subs and over 30 million registered users. Not only is our user base growing, but we have added 63% more people to our team. One key new hire was Stanford Au, our new CTO.

In light of Earth Day I thought it would be nice to talk a little bit about how being a YouSendIt user you are already helping the environment. And you thought you were just saving money and time by using us for online storage and sharing large files?

Most companies, small and large, have already invested into content management solutions, such as, Microsoft SharePoint. We believe that enterprises want to integrate with their already established content management systems; they do not want to rip out their Microsoft products, for example, and replace them with something new. They want to integrate applications that complement their solutions they have spent a lot of time and money on.

We are very excited to have Stanford Au come on board as our new CTO. We are lucky to have someone with over 25 years of experience in leading engineering departments at major tech companies like Netscape, Apple, and HP. Stanford will not only be running our engineering team, but will be over seeing IT and the operations teams as well. Read his full bio below. 

We announced today our partnership with MobileIron to address a shared need for IT managers dealing with the trend of BYOD (Bring Your Own Device); the need to apply a common security layer across apps and users. MobileIron is an innovator in enterprise management and security for mobile devices and applications space. They provide enterprises real-time intelligence and security into cloud applications that are deployed on their employees’ personal devices. MobileIron customers can now provision YouSendIt’s enterprise product line, Workstream by YouSendIt, from MobileIron’s Enterprise App Storefront. End-users will be able to continue to use YouSendIt to securely send, share, sign, sync, and store their business content inside and outside the firewall with IT’s blessing.

Workstream by YouSendIt delivers a seamless, empowering and secure solution that easily integrates into your current Microsoft solutions. The integrations benefit the end user as well as the IT administrator.  We make it easier for you to use the Microsoft tools you already have. Unlike other cloud-based systems who would have you throw out your content management and collaboration tools,  we are tightly integrated across multiple Microsoft products. We work where and how users work, with smart policies for the Extended Enterprise, while maximizing your Microsoft investment.

It’s my great pleasure to announce YouSendIt’s new enterprise product line, called Workstream by YouSendIt™.

When I first came to YouSendIt in 2006 I saw that enterprises were clamoring for a better way to collaborate on content with customers, partners and vendors. There have been few options available to enterprises until now.

There are now hundreds of thousands of mobile apps for your Android or iOS device! You can now not only can use consumer apps like Facebook, but you have access now to your business content with apps like YouSendIt. Let's say for example you had to jet out of work to go to a doctor appointment. While waiting for the doctor, as you usually have to do, you can share folders and sign documents all from your mobile device. You do not need to stop being productive because you have left the office. The workforce is able to work when they want where ever there are now thanks to cloud applications.

What is a way that you have used YouSendIt to help you keep your business moving?

2011 was an amazing and exciting year for all of us at YouSendIt. As you saw from my re-cap of the year post we announced a lot of new features, partners, and customers. What we are really excited to announce is that we grew our revenue 61% from 2010 and we now have 28 Million Registered Users!

YouSendIt had an amazing year every aspect. We extended our offering as a content collaboration solution, announcing the ability to share, sign, sync, store, and send your files on multiple platforms anywhere you are at any time. In case you missed all of our news, here’s a quick rundown of some of YouSendIt’s achievements.

Since July we have been growing our product offerings, from sending large files to sharing files and folders, signing files and storing and accessing content from multiple devices and platforms. Today we have a couple more exciting announcements to add to our product portfolio, including new mobile apps and desktop sync apps.

SAP’s acquisition of SuccessFactors validates that SuccessFactors has delivered proven value for their customers that SAP could not otherwise deliver now. This is a story that we have seen play out before, such as when Oracle acquired RightNow Technologies.

Integrating consumer solutions into the enterprise environment is at its core a question of how IT will make decisions.

Consumerization presents corporate IT with a leadership opportunity. While fulfilling its charter to provide security and control systems, IT can now also enable end-user convenience that will improve productivity. First IT must embrace new consumer technologies and succeed at this balancing act; if not IT runs the risk of becoming a barrier to productivity and cost reduction.

Trusted by 28 million users in 193 countries and over 160,000 companies large and small, providing our customers with superior service and performance is paramount. Read below for the latest updates on our system status and maintenance information.
