Citrix ShareFile Helps Customers Accelerate the Move to the Mobile, Digital Office

The benefits of becoming a digital office are well-documented, and businesses have much to gain from adopting technology that streamlines employees’ workflows and routine processes while maintaining high levels of security and compliance. The modern workplace is experiencing dramatic gains in productivity and efficiency, while also improving the way teams and clients collaborate from anywhere, at any time, on any device. Industry analyst firm IDC indicates that 80 percent of businesses have processes that still rely on paper and that most organizations are just beginning to transform their businesses with the document and information management leading the way. Yet, 72 percent of businesses agree that improving document processes would increase customer satisfaction and/or increase brand value.

With these market drivers and the influence of the more than 80,000 business customers and 20 million business users, Citrix continues to drive innovation in its leading file-sync-and-sharing solution. These include a smarter and simpler user experience, as well as a more streamlined way to view and take concise action on files of all types, including getting feedback and approvals on documents, sharing DICOM medical images, viewing 3D architectural renderings, and even requesting and tracking audit lists. ShareFile customers are more productive, collaborative, and secure, as they transition to the workplace of the future by evolving their business workflows and processes from paper to digital.

ShareFile addresses these needs and can be configured in a way that streamlines many of the common, industry-specific use cases – particularly in Accounting and Healthcare. The high level of customization and industry knowledge that ShareFile provides enables customers to have workflows and peace of mind that is tailored to their individual needs.

Thanks to the most recent improvements to ShareFile, CPAs can now create and track PBC lists (Provided By Client Lists), and request e-signatures for IRS forms 8879s. The request list feature eliminates the painstaking need to rely on email and spreadsheets, reducing complexity and error.
