The National Alliance for Hispanic Health Spends Up to 75% Less Time Looking for Current Files with Soonr

Soonr, a leading provider of secure file sharing and collaboration services for business, today announced that The National Alliance for Hispanic Health uses Soonr Workplace to enable remote file access and secure document collaboration for its employees, members and partners. Using Soonr, the health advocacy organization has simplified mobile file access, dramatically reduced its email profile on Office 365 and saved workers up to 75% of the time it traditionally took them to find current file versions.

The National Alliance for Hispanic Health (The Alliance) is the nation's foremost science-based source of information and trusted advocate for the health of Hispanics in the United States. Its community-based members provide services to more than 15 million Hispanic consumers throughout the U.S. every year and national organization members provide services to more than 100 million annually.

As an organization with a large number of member partners, The Alliance collaborates with hundreds of members every day as they work on programs to support Hispanic consumers. Program files, documents, presentations and contracts need to be easily shared, accessed and edited by team members both inside and outside the organization. But emailing them back and forth was causing versioning challenges. It was also creating storage bloat in its Microsoft Office 365 environment which hosted the organization’s Outlook email. Email attachment after attachment continued to push the organization’s storage limits.

To remedy its file sharing challenges, The Alliance selected Soonr Workplace. It streamlined version control challenges, minimized attachment sending via email and gave the health organization the simplified mobile access that improved workforce productivity on the road. Even more, it offers an easy way for The Alliance to securely collaborate with external partners without having to pay to add them as “users” of the service.

Now that The Alliance has Soonr Workplace, the organization finds that its workforce spends as much as 75% less time looking for current file versions. It also no longer needs to worry about reaching the storage limit of its Office 365 environment due to unnecessary emailed attachments.

“With Soonr you can send a link once and everyone in the group can make comments to the document right there,” said Douglas Vazquez of The National Alliance for Hispanic Health. “You don’t even have to have a laptop, it’s easy to comment or access right from your mobile device. It makes collaboration and revisions much easier. And, with the ability to time stamp content, you can control how long people have access to a project – so when it’s done, the link will no longer work.”

“One time, we had a contract that needed to be signed by a manager. She was on the road and couldn’t print or scan,” added Vazquez. “The PDF of the contract could easily be accessed from Soonr on her smartphone and signed with a stylus. What could have taken at least an hour, took just minutes. It’s like bringing your entire office with you, without having to pack it up.”

Using Soonr Workplace, The Alliance for Hispanic Health has benefited from the following:

• Workers spend up to 75% less time looking for current files
• Dramatically reduced email profile on Office 365
• Simplified mobile access to files for increased productivity
• Able to send and share links for collaboration on projects
