Case Study
Dalton, Olmsted & Fuglevand
Dalton, Olmsted & Fuglevand, Inc. (DOF)
provides environmental consulting
services across the United States and
internationally to clients in the private
and public sectors. The DOF staff
regularly exchanges large digital files
with clients. The company’s projects
entail the preparation of graphics, very
large computer-aided design files,
geographic information system maps/
data, presentations, PDFs of drawings
and reports with extensive graphics
that can exceed thousands of pages.
Each file could range from half a
megabyte to a gigabyte or more in size.
The Problem
• Using FTP proved to be difficult and
time consuming for staff and clients.
• Courier services did not deliver files
quickly enough for DOF’s needs.
• The company’s e-mail system limited
attachments to 8 MB, but typical files
could be a hundred times that size.
The SoluTion
YouSendIt Corporate Suite
• With YouSendIt Corporate Suite, staff
time required to manage a file transfer
has been cut by 80 percent, and the IT
team’s time spent on dealing with file
transfers shrunk by 95 percent.
• The firm often would spend $1,000 a
day to bring in a technician to identify
and fix a problem with the FTP server.
YouSendIt Corporate Suite costs DOF
only $1,500 a year.
• Ease of use has become YouSendIt’s
primary benefit for personnel across
the company.
• The firm now can be sure that
specific files have been downloaded,
avoiding the complexity in down-
loading through FTP.
• DOF principals now control the
custody and transfer of files instead of
needing to hand them off to IT to send,
improving satisfaction and security.
