“Web Tools I Can’t Live Without”

Friday, July 9th, 2010

In a recent blog post on http://blog.imarkcomm.com, a long time OfficeDrop user listed the 4 web tools he “can’t live without.”

It’s a bold statement, so we were very flattered to see that among his list (which included big names like Google Apps) he included OfficeDrop - describing it as working “great in conjunction with Google Docs.

We’re happy to hear you’re enjoying our Google Docs integration, Nick, and thanks for including us in your list!

If you would like to see the other 4 web apps Nick can’t live without, see his full post here.

Listen to Prasad’s Radio Interview

Friday, June 4th, 2010

You might have heard about OfficeDrop CEO, Prasad’s radio interview last week; he was interviewed by loyal OfficeDrop customer, Greg Skidmore, on his AM1490WGCH radio show, Greenwhich Entrepreneurs.

Greg asked some great questions and Prasad fielded them all with helpful answers. A few of Greg’s questions (paraphrased):

  • What has changed to allow companies to offer web services at a lower price?
  • How do you find the right balance between technology and human interaction with respect to customer service?
  • What was your youth like and what inspired your entrepreneurial spirit?
  • What lessons have you learned marketing to small businesses after working primarily with enterprises?

For the answers to these questions and more, those who missed it can listen or download the interview below (it’s the first segment titled “OfficeDrop”).

The interview was packed with helpful tips for entrepreneurs. Topics covered included:

Lowered costs of web services for small businesses
Tips for small business owners
Prasad’s previous ventures and his inspirations for them
The roots of OfficeDrop
Prasad’s youth and how he developed an entrepreneurial spirit
Lessons learned marketing to small businesses compared to enterprises
New OfficeDrop features

Greg also had some nice things to say about OfficeDrop throughout, including the following quote about the OfficeDrop document search feature:

Greg (in respect to financial documents): “You have to either be absolutely meticulous with your filing, or make your documents searchable. I think it’s a lot more time effective to make them searchable.”

Thanks again to Greg Skidmore for hosting Prasad, for using OfficeDrop, and saying nice things about us on the radio. We enjoyed the show and look forward to serving your document needs.

New Customer Case Study - Pixily’s Document Scanning and Document Management in Action

Monday, July 13th, 2009
LNK Uses OfficeDrop's Document Management Service

LNK Uses OfficeDrop's Document Management Service

We are pleased to announce the recent publication of a customer success story, “LNK Partners Saves Time, Space and Centralizes Documents with OfficeDrop’s Document Management Service.”

The customer, LNK Partners, a New York-based private equity firm focused exclusively on the consumer and retail sector, uses OfficeDrop to manage its administrative documents online. OfficeDrop receives LNK’s paper-based administrative documents via mail, scans them, converts the paper to fully-searchable Adobe PDFs and stores them online. With the OfficeDrop document management service, the LNK’s team members can quickly search for any keyword or phrase to access a document, no matter where they are.

The case study is a conversation with Bethany Chadwick, Director of Operations at LNK. Bethany explains how her firm heard of OfficeDrop’s service, what interested LNK about OfficeDrop, why she picked OfficeDrop to help manage her firm’s administrative documents and she comments on other things that she likes about OfficeDrop.

A few selected quotes from our customer:

  • My favorite feature is the full text search. It saves so much time, and has allowed us to better use our stored documents since we can quickly find the information we’re looking for. In the past, we could spend a lot of time sifting through documents to look for one piece of misplaced information.
  • It’s very convenient to pop the documents in the mail and let OfficeDrop do the scanning and uploading. I’m glad we no longer have to scan all that paper internally just to attach a document to an email.
  • The interface is fun; the thumbnails and previews are very useful when browsing for a particular document.

Please visit the OfficeDrop user testimonial page or click the above to download the case study, and thanks to Bethany and LNK for being our customer and allowing us to publicize the conversation we had with them!

Pixily wins the MITX Innovation award in the Cloud Computing category

Wednesday, June 17th, 2009

We take pride in finding innovative ways to solve our customers’ problem (Our easy workflow using pre-paid Scanvelopes or boxes, our adoption of the Cloud even before it was the next big thing to name a couple), so it feels great to win the MITX Technology Innovation award in the Cloud Computing Category. badge150x50-winner

The annual awards program recognizes achievements in the development and implementation of innovative technologies. Specifically, for the Cloud Computing Category, judges evaluated entries based on a defined set of criteria including: business solution, technical merit, scalability and innovation. For this category, judges also looked for Security and Energy efficiency.

Given the criteria, OfficeDrop may seem to be an obvious choice, especially as it relates to our use of the Cloud and specifically that of Amazon Web Services. Use of the cloud helps us keep our fixed costs low, scale easily and most importantly, pass on those cost savings to our customers.

Pictures and videos from the event to follow soon. Meanwhile, join us at, ahem, Cloud Nine, to celebrate.

Pixily Wins Audience Choice Award at WebInno 19

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

We attended our first WebInno event in September 2007, one month into founding OfficeDrop. We were very impressed with the group of people we met and we have since then aspired to present at this conference. Yesterday, that became a reality.

We are very honored to have won the Audience Choice award. Since we were chosen by an audience and not just by a panel of judges, it is a true validation of the service. Being the first in the market, we not only have to create awareness for our firm but also have to educate people on the service.  Being awarded means people recognize that : 

  • there is a need,
  • we have addressed that need, and
  • people want to use it.

Here is the proud OfficeDrop team with the award (and a big shout-out to the rest of the team that is not in this picture). GO PIXILY!!
