[ZendTo] Re: How do you market ZendTo service to your internal staff?

[Joshua F. Withrow]

We don't refer to it as zend. To at all.   Just "files".   Keeps confusion down.   Ultimately users don't care to know about that sort of thing...  They just care about the end result and how easy it is to use

files.domain.com makes sense (even simpler that fileshare.domain.com).

What about how you promote this services to your users.  Do you actually say you are running ZendTo or would you let your users know that you are now running a new “file sharing service” for your company etc...

I guess I’m curious as to how everyone else is actually branding this service.

Hey,

I agree with keeping things simple so we named it by service not
software. This also allows us to change software in the future (not
saying we will change from zendto). Also it won't confuse users not so
tech-savvy, they may forget that 'zendto' is to share files. However
you can't really forget fileshare.domain is to share files.

Just my 2 cents.

Cheers,
