AttachThis Pro

Enhance user adoption with streamlined SharePoint-Outlook collaboration

Even though SharePoint improves content collaboration, access to business intelligence and data security, SharePoint adoption may be lagging throughout your organization. Users who continue to collaborate with their colleagues via Outlook make it difficult for you to control where documents are stored, ensure content searchability and usability, and secure vital data.

Quest AttachThis Pro facilitates SharePoint adoption, increases content collaboration and ensures document security and availability without changing user behavior. AttachThis Pro is an easy-to-use Outlook add-in that uploads email attachments to SharePoint and replaces them with secure links in a way that is intuitive to end-users.

Quest AttachThis Pro enables you to:

  • Leverage your organization’s SharePoint investment
  • Enable SharePoint user adoption without changing their work habits
  • Reduce the amount of corporate information stored in Exchange, PSTs and local drives
  • Improve compliance and simplify auditing

Features

  • Quick Installation – Install and configure AttachThis Pro in less than two minutes and quickly deploy to Outlook users.
  • Simplified Collaboration – Increase end user adoption of SharePoint without changing their work habits. AttachThis Pro integrates with Outlook, prompting users to upload email attachments to SharePoint, Microsoft SkyDrive, Google Docs and Box.com (with the ability to lock any of these options). A secure link is automatically sent to recipients.
  • Easy-to-Use Interface – Ensure the success of your SharePoint deployment and increase user adoption by giving users a simple tool to upload email attachments to SharePoint.
  • Improved Security – Protect business-critical information by ensuring only email recipients are granted access to the new SharePoint attachment using granular permissions based on the email recipient list or the document’s location.
  • Streamlined Location Mapping – Control attachment upload locations by setting pre-defined global document library mappings based on security groups. Long SharePoint URLs can be renamed with simple, easy-to-remember tags.
  • Insightful Analytics – Track the number of installs of Quest AttachThis Pro’s administrative console, and remain in licensing compliance.

Sending an Email with AttachThis

Collaborating on documents with your colleagues is easier than ever. AttachThis works the way you do – in Outlook – while giving you access to SharePoint’s collaborative power. Simply send an email attachment as you normally would.

Selecting the SharePoint Location

Once you hit “Send,” all you have to do is select how you want to send the attachment. If you want it uploaded to SharePoint, you can easily select the location in the drop-down menu, and then select who can access the attachment (access granting only available in AttachThis Pro).

Receiving an email using AttachThis

Voila! Now your email is sent with a link to the SharePoint location rather than the bulky email attachment. Recipients simply click on the link and the document opens. Since the document is now stored in SharePoint, you’ll have a single source of edits from your various collaborators.

Creating Personalized Smart Tags

AttachThis makes selecting the SharePoint location easy with “smart tags” – easy-to-recognize names for the locations you use most. Within the AttachThis dialogue box, simply select the Options icon at the top and begin creating your own smart tags!

Administrator Console

Get even more control over how your users are using AttachThis with the AttachThis Pro Administrator console via SharePoint Central Administration. Reduce confusion for users and control where documents are stored by rolling out global and departmental smart tags to their AttachThis clients. Track usage analytics, such as the number of AttachThis licenses deployed in your environment and the version of Outlook used, with each deployment. Administrator Console only available in AttachThis Pro
