LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Box today announced that Oxfam, the worldwide development organization,
is bringing Box’s cloud content sharing and collaboration platform to
employees working across more than 90 countries. In addition to
providing mobile access to content, Box will also centralize management
and security for Oxfam’s 17 international affiliates.
“We have teams across the globe working on hundreds of projects,” said
Grant Holton-Picard, technical infrastructure manager at Oxfam. “Box
will provide us a smooth, unified, way of accessing content and a
brilliant collaboration platform across the Oxfam family.”
“Oxfam’s deployment underscores the increased adoption we’ve seen in
Europe, as organizations and companies of all sizes move towards a more
mobile and collaborative workforce,” said David Quantrell, Box senior
vice president and general manager of EMEA. “Oxfam does incredible work
in the world’s most vulnerable areas. Box helps enable secure content
sharing, collaboration and mobility with robust admin controls to
securely run the global organization.”
Oxfam puts strong emphasis on providing employees with the tools they
need to be efficient and productive. “Being able to share precious
information instantaneously across continents – from capital cities to
the remotest locations – is vital for improving staff collaboration and
organizational impact,” Holton-Picard said.
Box makes it easy for more than 27 million individuals at 240,000

announcement, Oxfam joins a growing list of non-profits who have moved
to Box, including the International Rescue Committee, the UN Foundation
