LOS ALTOS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Box today announced that the ASPCA® (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals®), the first humane society established in North America, is bringing Box’s cloud content sharing and collaboration platform to its employees. The ASPCA chose Box as their primary platform to centralize content management and security as well as to enable mobile access to information.

With today’s announcement, the ASPCA joins 3,000 nonprofits that have adopted the Box platform through Box.org, an initiative the company launched one year ago to empower global nonprofits to achieve their missions and deliver lasting social impact through better use of technology.

“Moving to cloud technologies like Box is at the forefront of our strategy to streamline collaboration, increase mobility, and enhance security for all of our employees,” said Mary Sobiechowski, VP of IT at the ASPCA. “As an organization, we are leveraging technology to improve staff collaboration and increase organizational impact in support of our life-saving programs on behalf of animals.”

“We launched Box.org one year ago today with the mission to provide organizations that are doing good with access to innovative technologies that will help them be more connected, productive, and effective in achieving their goal,” said Karen Appleton, senior vice president of Industry Alliances at Box and founder of Box.org. “The ASPCA does incredible work to improve the lives of animals throughout the United States. We are thrilled to be working with them to help drive increased flexibility and greater on-the-go access to the information needed to support their work providing positive outcomes for at-risk animals.”

The ASPCA’s IT department selected Box to:

• Provide field teams with a mobile solution to assist in the rescue of animal victims of both natural and man-made disasters;
• Improve cross-departmental collaboration by leveraging Box Notes to allow organizational leads to iterate on critical project charters and strategic plans;
• Streamline project management and collaboration and establish workflows;
• Provide a unified solution with an intuitive end-user experience to centralize content management and security.

Since launching Box.org in May 2014, Box continues to see significant demand for better ways to share and collaborate in the nonprofit world. In the past year, the company’s nonprofit customer base grew from 1,000 to 3,000 with innovative organizations like Oxfam International, Team Rubicon and Habitat for Humanity Australia using Box to collaborate internally and externally, manage and share mission-critical information, communicate with donors, and access documents from anywhere in the world on any device. Box makes it easy for more than 34 million individuals and 45,000 organizations around the world to share and collaborate.
