A couple of weeks ago I flew across the pond to our London office for a Skills Swap event hosted by Tim Stone, our Box.org EMEA committee lead, and our partner Tech Trust. This was inspired by another Skills Swap that we did this past summer where we partnered with 20 local nonprofits out of our headquarters in Redwood City to tackle specific projects with the organizations.
We welcomed 30 UK charities into our office for an afternoon of sharing skills and networking. The charities that attended were small to medium in size and…

The digital workplace of the future will be built on best-of-breed applications, and, collectively, we’re using a lot more applications than ever before. The average enterprise, for example, is using more than 1,100 cloud apps across its organization today, and while we’ve never seen this much innovation or had as much choice in how we get work done, all this abundance isn’t without its challenges. What’s the latest version of this file? What app does this team use? How do we keep all our information secure when it’s being used in all these different apps?
Today at BoxWorks 2018, we…
We are thrilled to be positioned again as a Visionary in Gartner’s second annual Magic Quadrant for Content Services Platforms report! — especially on the heels of being recognized by Gartner as a leader in the Magic Quadrant for Content Collaboration Platforms a few months ago.

Out with the old [ECM], in with the new [Content Services]
Gartner coined ‘Content Services Platform’ in its retirement of the term ‘Enterprise Content Management” and its related magic quadrant. Gartner notes in “Market Share Analysis: Content Services, Worldwide, 2017” report, “ECM (now called CSP) is still critical for digital business transformation projects that…
We spend more time than ever collaborating, and email is where a lot of our work happens. At Box, we aim to make it as seamless as possible for users to get their work done in their favorite applications. This is why we’ve partnered with Google to bring the Box experience into the Gmail interface, with Box for Gmail! We previewed this integration at Google Cloud NEXT, and are excited to announce that it’s generally available.
Further extending our partnership with Google, Box for Gmail leverages the new Gmail add-on framework introduced last year, enabling users to attach Box files…
More data was created in 2017 than in the last 5,000 years combined. Gartner estimates there will be an 800% growth in the amount of data in the enterprise by 2021, with more than 80% of that data living in unstructured formats like PDFs, images, and videos. There is so much value trapped inside unstructured data that businesses aren’t able to realize and, as the amount of data continues to grow, it becomes more difficult, time-consuming and expensive to make sense of it all.
At Box, we believe that artificial intelligence and machine learning is the only way to solve…
The desktop is where we first learned to explore and access files, and usually still where we’re most comfortable doing so today. That’s why we designed Box Drive, to allow you to work the way you already work, in the place you know best. With Box Drive, ALL of your files on Box are streamed to you, so you can easily access, share, and collaborate on cloud content right from your desktop, without using up all your hard drive space.
There are lots different ways to use Box Drive to stay productive and make working together simple, but here are…

Olympus, the maker of medical technologies, life sciences, industrial solutions, and cameras and audio products, has diversified lines of business, all united by a common ethos: having a positive impact on people’s lives and society at large. That ethos comes through not only in the products Olympus makes, but also through the spirit of its employees. Instead of an appointed IT leader making every technology decision from a place of ultimate authority, Olympus has cultivated a technology team that actively responds to user needs.
Heading that team, with responsibility for the Americas region, is Adrian Marsh, Vice President at Olympus…

When you walk into your bank to manage your account or discuss a loan, you expect a personalized, friction-free experience. You probably don’t care what technology the bank representative is using — or how many systems and processes he or she has to go through on the backend. But you definitely notice if the bank’s technology impedes your experience.
As fintech has gotten more sophisticated over the last decade, this expectation has only intensified. Today, consumers expect their banks to offer superior, easy-to-use digital options at every turn, from loan processing to online banking to wealth management solutions. …

At Herbalife, it’s not rare for employees to be invited into the test kitchens to sample shakes, food bars and other cutting-edge health products. It’s a culture where nutrition innovation and employee collaboration go hand in hand.
But as much as this global nutrition company is tapped into the current zeitgeist around healthy eating, Herbalife is in many ways an established, traditional organization. Founded in 1980, the company has over 8,000 employees worldwide, maintains a presence in over 70 countries and is traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: HLF). …

Your Las Vegas experience is carefully designed for your enjoyment. It’s in the grand gestures: the extravagant hotels, the spectacular scenery and the world-class food and shopping. But it’s also in the little things, where you might book your day’s adventure from your smartphone, adjust the air conditioning in your room without ever getting out of bed and play the slot machines with a bluetooth-enabled account connected to your device.
You take for granted that this is just “how things are” in Vegas — better somehow. …

The all new Box. The future of work is working together.
