Hightail, formerly known as YouSendIt, is a leading SaaS solution for file sharing and content collaboration, acquired by OpenText in February 2018. Media Management provides a consolidated asset repository for marketing, branding, commerce, video and global distribution. Marketing and creative teams using Media Management can now leverage the simplicity of Hightail to securely share large, multimedia files directly from the DAM. Customers can also enable streamlined, real-time feedback and approvals on digital assets with internal stakeholders and external partners and agencies.

“Salt River Project built its digital asset management strategy on OpenText Media Management,” said Bill Garmen, Digital Asset Manager at Salt River Project, a public utility providing water and power to more than 2 million people in central Arizona. “Today, over a million visual assets are securely managed in our OpenText DAM solution, and our creative team is already using OpenText Hightail for file sharing. We are excited to be among the first customers to leverage the new integration and robust rich media collaboration features OpenText offers.”
