During the webinar, Senior Customer Success Manager Kurt Dodge will demonstrate new options for sending large files, a more streamlined recipient experience and some Hightail features that might be new to you.Īre you ready for the Intelligent and Connected Enterprise? Join us at OpenText™ Enterprise World 2019 to hear how we’re enabling the Intelligent and Connected Enterprise with AI and the Internet of Things. J oin us on May 7 from 10:00AM – 10:30AM PT to learn about the newest features we’ve released in Hightail. It’s been an exciting first year with OpenText, and we look forward to continuing to innovate the Hightail service for our customers. Since the acquisition, Hightail has continued to offer its uninterrupted secure file sharing and collaboration service to customers while progressing the application with the release of new features, such as freehand annotations, side-by-side version comparison and the ability to purchase multi-user accounts online through our Teams plan.Īdditionally, we’ve extended our offering through strategic integrations with OpenText™ Media Management and OpenText™ Core to further address the needs of creative and marketing teams who require the ability to review and collaborate on their digital media assets. In 2015, we enhanced the offering further with the release of a series of collaboration features (accessed through visual workspaces called Spaces) that addressed the growing need for creative and marketing professionals to simplify the way that they collected and routed feedback on multimedia files.Ī little over one year ago, Hightail hit a new milestone when it was acquired by OpenText. It then was quickly followed by fellow cloud-based file sharing and storage services such as Citrix ShareFile, WeTransfer and Google Drive.įast forward nine years later to 2013, YouSendIt was rebranded to Hightail to allow the business to expand product offerings beyond sending large files. The solution pioneered a new file sharing industry, set to displace the frustrations faced with attempting to email large documents, uploading to a clunky FTP site, or passing off thumb drives from one device to another. Play it SAML.Founded in 2004 as YouSendIt, Hightail was originally designed to help individuals and businesses easily and securely transfer large files from one person to another. Sounds like this hits all the right notes. So: making things easier, reducing costs, helping people work more effectively and increasing data security. Hightail for Desktop and Mobile apps will follow shortly. Hightail SAML provisioning service is currently available on the web or by using our Hightail Express and Hightail for Outlook apps. And your IdP controls authentication ensuring each individual’s online files are protected by the same password policies as the rest of your valuable corporate information. Likewise, Hightail and WeTransfer have a user satisfaction rating of 89 and 90. For example, Hightail and WeTransfer are scored at 8.6 and 8.3, respectively, for general quality and performance. It also helps ensure your valuable account licenses are going to people who actually log in to the service.īecause there isn’t yet another username and password to remember, SAML authentication also encourages initial adoption and ongoing use of Hightail, helping people work more effectively. It’s easy to identify which option is best suited for your enterprise if you examine several products before you decide which one is the best. This “Just-in-Time” provisioning is a great way for your business to reduce admin costs, as your account administrator doesn’t need to spend time setting up individual users.

Once authentication is successful, the user is automatically provisioned with a Hightail account and immediately logged in to the service.

The user is redirected to their company’s Identity Provider (IdP) and authenticated via their corporate account information. Once a Hightail Enterprise account has been set up for SAML, all the admin has to do is enable and configure it using our admin console, then invite people to start using Hightail. Now we’ve extended our SAML services to provisioning, meaning accounts can now be set up automatically when the user first logs in to Hightail via the corporate single sign-on page. Since last year, enterprise users have been able to log in to Hightail using their corporate account details, thanks to SAML authentication. We’re making it even easier for administrators of Hightail Enterprise accounts to add new users, while also bolstering data security.
