LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Box (NYSE:BOX) today announced that it is working with the Government
Digital Service (GDS), the digital arm of the British government, to
make content sharing and collaboration available across government
departments. After rigorous assessments focused on security and
compliance, the Cabinet Office’s Senior Information Risk Owner (SIRO),
Mark Fisher, has approved Box for sharing information at ‘official’
level both internally and externally.
“Technology has advanced dramatically and new ways of working can mean
legacy IT solutions are not always suitable for today’s government,
which often needs to manage critical content easily and securely from
anywhere and on any device,” said David Quantrell, Box senior vice
president and general manager of EMEA. “The GDS is a pioneer in
deploying innovative technology and as it expands its collaboration
portfolio it is encouraging wider cross-government cooperation.”
The GDS selected Box to:
-
Enhance flexibility for file sharing, especially around ‘official
data’;
-
Improve collaboration capabilities of its mobile workforce; and
-
Provide its staff with an intuitive platform which is both secure and
easy to use
Box is already available
for British government departments through G-Cloud Digital Marketplace,
and in the US, the company has just
announced that the US Department of Justice has selected Box to
enable enterprise file sharing. Box makes it easy for more than 34
million users and 45,000 organizations to share and collaborate securely
on their most important content.
