Devin Cahn Associates' Users Are 75% More Efficient with Soonr WorkplaceSAN JOSE, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- Soonr, a leading provider of secure file sharing and collaboration services for business, today announced that Devin Cahn Associates (DCA) has improved user efficiency by 75% every month while protecting and replicating company data for assured disaster recovery (DR) using Soonr Workplace. In addition to delivering productivity and DR advantages, Soonr Workplace has also saved DCA thousands in physical server cost avoidance. DCA is a leading manufacturer's representative firm for pool and spa equipment, serving retailers throughout the Southern and Western regions of the U.S. The company used to manage its operations and document file sharing the "old fashioned" way with mountains of paper and files. To help save time and improve productivity the company took the office paperless. At first, they put everything into a local server, but that proved to be unreliable. Because DCA is based in the storm-heavy state of Florida, the company experienced power surges that would cause the server to go down when lightning struck. After a time, this became a constant frustration - and expense - as damaged server parts needed to be replaced and data backups were adding extra time to the office staff's day. To solve its DR and file sharing challenges, DCA wanted a solution that would keep its data off premise so tha it wouldn't risk losing it in a lightning storm. It needed a better way to manage files while giving its numerous roaming sales reps easy access to the data they need while on the road. From pricing information to sales literature and catalogs, DCA's sales reps need quick access to product information from anywhere, and on any device. Syncing files through the physical server was slow and unreliable, so the idea of a cloud-based solution that would support ready access from any mobile device became a very appealing idea. This is what led DCA to Soonr Workplace. Because Soonr Workplace has built in data protection and replication, DCA now never needs to worry that a power outage will cause data loss. Even more, Soonr Workplace has saved the company thousands of dollars compared to its previous IT management expenses for its physical server. Also particularly of value to DCA is Soonr Workplace's ability to invite sales reps to view just the documents they need, without having access to everything. With easy permission control, DCA can define the product information available to each sales rep so that they don't sell a product that may not be available to them "With Soonr, it's easy to give controlled access to anyone I want," said Glenda Gunderson, Executive Director of Operations, Devin Cahn Associates. "I just email a link, the time involved is literally nothing and the value is tremendous. It's been very easy for everyone to use - very straight forward and simple. It's made every user 75% more efficient every month." Using Soonr Workplace, DCA has seen the following results:
