High Street Partners, a premier provider of international business software and services that simplify the management and control of international expansion and operations, is helping file-sharing leader Hightail extend its geographic footprint. Hightail, formerly known as YouSendIt, currently serves more than 40 million registered users in 193 countries and is strategically expanding its physical presence in the UK and Australia to better serve customers in those key markets.

Hightail's expansion strategy includes implementation of HSP's software platform and consulting support that is helping the company manage strategic hiring and payroll in the UK and Australia.

"We wanted to make sure that we had a partner with a proven track record for supporting such an important initiative," said Joe Zaelit, corporate controller at Hightail. "With 60 percent of our current user base outside of the U.S., we have an opportunity to continue to grow our customer base and strengthen current relationships in a couple of key markets."

Hightail continues to position itself to take advantage of the rapid growth in the file-sharing space, with more IT leaders (67 percent according to Forrester) looking to take collaboration to the cloud. The company recently announced a rebrand from YouSendIt to Hightail and a new $34 million investment round.
