Oodrive launches its collaborative working solution, iExtranet, in Belgium!

Fresh from its success in France, Oodrive, specialists in file management solutions in SaaS mode, has decided to draw on its Belgian office to sell its file sharing and collaborative working solution, iExtranet, in Belgium.

Belgium, natural expansion for Oodrive

Since it was established in 2000, Oodrive, publishers of online file management solutions and pioneer of solutions in SaaS (Software as a Service) mode in France, has become one of the French market leaders in online backup, file sharing and web-based collaborative working.

Oodrive's success has spread rapidly across national borders: today, counting over 8,000 customers across 90 countries, and with 3,500 companies using iExtranet, its beacon file sharing and collaborative working solution, Oodrive ranks as one of Europe's leading service providers for web-based file sharing and collaborative working.

Among its many client companies, SMEs and corporations (more than 40% of companies listed in the French stock market index CAC 40 use the iExtranet solution), Oodrive already has around fifty Belgian companies who rely on them, subscribing to the iExtranet offer for file sharing and efficient online collaborative working.

Further, the purchase of Belgian company, BlueBackUp, in November 2008, has allowed Oodrive to establish itself in Belgium with the opening of its subsidiary, Oodrive Belgium.

Therefore, invigorated by these initial successes and its geographical presence in Belgium, Oodrive naturally decided to develop its Sharing and Collaborative operations by selling its file sharing and web-based collaborative working solution, iExtranet on the Belgian market.


iExtranet: file sharing and collaborative working solution

In order to deal with the increasing proliferation of electronic communication, Oodrive developed iExtranet, a secure web-based platform for collaborative working and exchanging of large files between staff within a company and their external contacts.

More secure than sending an e-mail, simpler to set up than an FTP server and cheaper than sending CD-Roms by courier or post, iExtranet allows companies to:

Beyond these main fucntions, the iExtranet solution is equipped with several collaborative tools, such as management of access rights, multimedia and technical file (viewer and streaming) previewing, versions management of shared documents, a memo System, a dynamic multilanguage option, and much more.

Simple and user friendly, the iExtranet solution in SaaS mode requires no installation or training and is intended for all types of user, even novice computer users. Oodrive's solution is compatible with any operating system (PC, Mac and Linux), with most Web browsers (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari and Opera) and almost every e-mail application.

iExtranet comes with guaranteed security and very high availability of shared data. Thus, the user is ensured total document availability and complete confidentiality of information.

Lastly, to perfectly meet issues faced by businesses, Oodrive's secure web-based file sharing and collaborative working solution comes in different versions to better fit the needs of companies, no matter their size, field of activity or way of working.

"iExtranet's success with French companies and some Belgian businesses has naturally prompted us to sell our offer in Belgium, where the market for file management solutions is booming. Further, the fact that we have a subsidiary in Bruxelles giving us closer proximity to the northern European market is a real competitive advantage which we can use to affirm our status as a major European player ", stated Edouard de Rémur, Sales Director.
