AMAG Pharmaceuticals drastically cuts completion time of critical projects by
eliminating e-mail transfer of large files and implementing YouSendIt’s Corporate Suite

Company Description

AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc., based in Lexington, Massachusetts, uses proprietary technology to develop therapeutic iron compounds to treat anemia and to create imaging agents for diagnostic procedures.

the Problem

• AMAG was relying on e-mail to deliver critical files but the organization’s explosive growth soon bogged down the e-mail system creating challenges for the marketing, sales training and clinical organizations.

• AMAG’s clients, vendors and partners were becoming increasingly challenged when it came to sending or receiving critical documents due to the size. 

• The company needed a secure way to send training and sensitive drug data out to the employees in the field.

It’s been a great 2009 – here’s to many more successes!

Testimonials

"YouSendIt has become a key asset within the realm of television. As a Production Supervisor, I transfer and send large video & audio files daily. When YouSendIt was brought to my attention, it quickly became apart of our production workflow. We recently created a new concept called, “VTV-Viewer Made Television which is a promotional campaign where viewers send us videos and audio files. Once again, YouSendIt came to the rescue. I believe YouSendIt will revolutionize and change the way Production Teams work within the industry."

"YouSendIt delivers quality products that require minimal or no resources to deploy, use, and administer. This is one of those dream IT solutions at the right price that you turn on for the user and can forget about. YouSendIt ranks among the top IT solutions we selected in 2007!"

"YouSendIt literally saved my keynote at Photoshop World in Boston. I am always working on my slides until the very last moment and due to a technical error I was without my presentation at the show. With YouSendIt we got the file to the demo machine in time. And the new YouSendIt Photoshop plug-in will make work for designers even easier."

YouSendIt, Inc In The News

2.0 buzzword long ago became so vague as to be useless, let me introduce you to three companies that solve Real World 1.0 problems with the help of Web 2.0 technology: YouSendIt, EchoSign, and Casdex.

Every marketing firm must have the same set of buzzword stamps they use, inking every product with Green and Collaboration and Easy to Use and Do More With Less, often tagged additionally with the ever popular Web 2.0. Since the Web 2.0 buzzword long ago became so vague as to be useless, let me introduce you to three companies that solve Real World 1.0 problems with the help of Web 2.0 technology: YouSendIt, EchoSign, and Casdex.

Let's start with YouSendIt, in Campbell Calif., although being Web 2.0, “where” doesn't really matter. YouSendIt focuses on one function: sending large files you can't send via e-mail. Just about everyone has tried to send some file, maybe a bloated PowerPoint file with too many transitions and added sounds like a cash register ca-ching, and had it bounced back by an e-mail server.

“From the very beginning, there are three things users try to do with those files before they find us,” said Ranjith Kumaran, CTO and founder of YouSendIt. “First, they try to chop the file up, but then the recipient has trouble putting it back together. Then they try to use an FTP server, but either they or the recipient has trouble. Finally they give up, burn it to a CD or DVD, and FedEx it.”

YouSendIt allows people to send files up to 2GBs in size and tracks the delivery of those files to all their recipients. You fill out the e-mail address of the recipients, your e-mail address for the delivery notification, and upload the file or files.

YouSendIt sends an e-mail with the download details to your recipient. They also encrypt the connection during the upload and download process. Using the “freemium” model (oops, another buzzword stamp), you can try the service free for files under 100MBs.

“Our slogan is send, receive, track,” said Kumaran. “Rather than approach this from the storage and security angle, we approached it from the ease of use angle.”

So far, YouSendIt has over 100,000 paying customers and over 8.5 million registered users. In true Web 2.0 fashion, news spread virally. Mostly, the news spread because every person you send a file too discovers how well the system works, and they sign up as well.

“We have over 800 corporate customers since we started YouSendIt Express,” said Kumaran. “Every one of those customers came to us because employees used us and spread the word to their companies.”

Facebook in 10 years......

25th August, 2009
By Nick Vaidya

Has the facebook phenomenon reached maturity and equilibrium or are we to expect change?  It is, indeed, a lot of things to a lot of people.  It is a social resume.  It is a directory of people? It is play ground? It is a blow horn? And on and on....Whatever it may be to you, it evolves for each individual. What do you think it will look like in 10 years from now?  

Quote of the Day

“
There are a lot of things that go into creating success. I don't like to do just the things I like to do. I like to do things that cause the company to succeed. I don't spend a lot of time doing my favorite activities.
- Michael Dell
