YouSendIt Achieves Record Growth, Doubling Subscribers While Increasing Bookings 175 Percent

Posted on: Wednesday, 18 March 2009, 09:00 CDT

New customers in healthcare, education, manufacturing and government add to YouSendIt's 100,000 paid subscribers

CAMPBELL, Calif., March 18 /PRNewswire/ -- YouSendIt, the leader in secure digital file delivery, announced 175 percent year-over-year bookings growth from 2007 to 2008, doubling its subscriber base and growing distribution of its integrated plug-ins by 400 percent during that same time period.

With more than 8.5 million registered users and 100,000 paid subscribers, YouSendIt has grown its subscriber base in a variety of industries, including new customers in healthcare, education, manufacturing and government/municipalities. YouSendIt's integration into everyday authoring and productivity tools has contributed to its overall growth, with over 2.5 million plug-ins distributed for programs such as Microsoft Outlook and Office; Adobe Photoshop and Acrobat; Apple iPhoto and Final Cut Pro, allowing users to send files via YouSendIt from within their workflow.

"Business professionals' ability to create rich digital information and the need to distribute that information instantly to customers, colleagues and business partners has grown over the last couple of years. However, current business-to-business communication infrastructure is not equipped to address these evolving needs," said Ivan Koon, YouSendIt CEO. "Solving these core business problems with an easy-to-deploy, manage and use service has been paramount to our growth. Companies can no longer rely on costly, out-dated and sluggish information delivery methods such as couriers or even email. YouSendIt is positioned very well for growth in 2009 and beyond as the leader in digital file delivery on the Web."

YouSendIt's corporate customers include small to mid-sized companies such as AMAG Pharmaceuticals, APS Healthcare, and SIGA Technologies; enterprise customers such as Kelley Moore Paints, Dow Chemical and Arizona State University; and government/municipalities such as Sacramento Convention & Visitors Bureau. All have seen savings in time and capital expenditures after implementing YouSendIt.

"When I came to AMAG YouSendIt was one of the first accounts I established," said Nate McBride, Senior Director of IT, AMAG Pharmaceuticals. "The service seemed to be very intuitive, and people immediately understood how to use it. YouSendIt has changed the speed at which we do business, with secure, instantaneous turnaround for documents and project review. Its simplicity is what makes it such a great environment. I can't imagine not having YouSendIt."

As testimony to its industry leadership, YouSendIt has been recognized by the Gartner group as a Visionary and Cool Vendor, and was recently named a Red Herring Global 100 and Network Products Guide Hot Companies finalist.
