Built from the Ground Up with Privacy and Compliance in Mind, Single-Tenancy Platform Hosts Data on HighQ’s Private Cloud

HighQ, a leading provider of enterprise cloud collaboration software, has released HighQ Collaborate 3.3. The latest version of Collaborate includes the addition of major new features: Secure file transfers, document automation and a new REST API.

With Collaborate 3.3, HighQ continues to provide integrated solutions to common business problems in one unified platform and gives customers the opportunity to simplify their IT landscape, reduce costs, ease administrative burdens and add value for their own clients.

“Security and control is always at the top of our minds,” said HighQ CEO Ajay Patel. “With 3.3, we saw an opportunity to broaden our offerings, add more value for our customers and launch a vibrant developer community, while retaining the highest standards of security and compliance. We’re excited to provide highly regulated firms with new features such as secure file transfers and document automation in the most comprehensive single platform available for cloud-based file sharing, social collaboration and document management.”

A unified solution for compliance-sensitive industries such as law firms, in-house corporate legal departments and financial services firms, Collaborate 3.3 combines secure file sharing and advanced document management with leading-edge enterprise social collaboration, productivity and knowledge sharing tools. Desktop-, mobile- and tablet-optimized, Collaborate 3.3 is designed to help users get their work done efficiently and share information securely. It enables many use cases in a stringently secure environment: a single-tenancy, cloud-based platform hosted in HighQ’s own private cloud.

New Features in Collaborate 3.3

The new version of Collaborate comes equipped with the following integrated features:

• Secure file transfers let users quickly and securely send files, no matter how large, to any recipient. Expiration dates and digital rights management can be applied to shared files, preventing data leakage. Users can permanently store and securely share files in their own “My files” section.
• Document automation quickly generates standard types of documents, including employment contracts, NDAs, software licenses and reports, based on a pre-defined template. Rather than formatting complex documents, users simply fill out a form to input the relevant data and automatically generate the document in seconds. In addition to expediting the generation of documents with consistent formats, firms gain a value-add to pass down to their clients: the ability to create documents based on professionally produced templates.
• A new REST API enables customers, vendors and systems integrators (SIs) to connect HighQ Collaborate to other systems and exchange data. Developers and SIs are encouraged to apply for a developer license and start creating custom connectors to other on-premise or cloud-based applications. Existing connectors based on the API include HP WorkSite, Active Directory and SharePoint.
• Additional new features include two-factor authentication, enhancements to the Files and iSheets modules, and overall improvements to usability and administration.
