Get Your Enterprise Up and Running With YouSendIt for Business in Minutes

When the time to deployment clock is ticking, every minute counts. No wonder IT managers want an easy way to deploy and manage an enterprise-wide collaboration solution.

Introducing YouSendIt for Business Directory Services Connector

Highly flexible and scalable, YouSendIt for Business is easy to deploy and manage within the corporate environment. YouSendIt for Business’s Directory Services Connector (DSC) provides instant access to the rich range of YouSendIt for Business features by integrating easily with your Microsoft Active Directory infrastructure. DSC includes scalable user provisioning and management, integrated and secure password management, and group based policy management—all of which lead to easy, efficient user regulation and peace of mind.

Key Features

Scalable User Provisioning and Management

Whether provisioning for individuals, teams, or the entire company, YouSendIt for Business DSC makes it easy with centralized set-up through Microsoft Active Directory. With DSC installed and configured, it’s simple to create a group in Active Directory and add users. DSC interfaces with Active Directory so users are automatically provisioned without having to sign up or accept an invitation and user accounts can be easily disabled when an employee leaves a company.

Secure Password Management

With the YouSendIt for Business DSC, IT administrators can enable single sign-on using corporate password policies for user authentication to the YouSendIt for Business service. Not only does DSC improve the ability to manage groups and individuals, but it also enhances security, since corporate passwords never leave the company network and are never stored by YouSendIt for Business. Users access YouSendIt for Business with their existing user account and corporate password, and administrators have full control over password policies.

 

Seamless End-User Experience

When you integrate YouSendIt for Business with Microsoft Active Directory, it works seamlessly with your current workflows and day-to-day tasks. Users can access it from within Outlook, increasing productivity without having to learn a new solution. And IT doesn’t have to spend time configuring a new solution, either. YouSendIt for Business’s DSC automatically logs users in behind the scenes, using corporate credentials already managed by IT.

Deployment Flexibility

With YouSendIt for Business, IT administrators can provision users either manually or through Active Directory (AD). This enables a smooth transition from a non-AD to an AD environment and also provides the flexibility to customize deployments by user type.

With Directory Services Connector, companies can quickly and easily get individuals, teams, and entire organizations up and running with YouSendIt for Business. That means it’s even faster and simpler to connect users with YouSendIt for Business’s rich functionality for sending and sharing files.
