Box received the highest score in the Strategy category, receiving a
5 out of 5 rating
REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Box, Inc. (NYSE:BOX), a leader in cloud content management, today
announced that it was named a Leader in “The Forrester Wave™: Enterprise
File Sync And Share Platforms — Cloud Solutions, Q4 2017” report by
Forrester. Box received the highest score in the Strategy category,
scoring a 5 out of 5 in all criteria.
According to Forrester, “The cloud EFSS market has evolved, moving well
beyond core file sharing capabilities. EA [enterprise architecture] pros
are now looking to complement or supplant their on-premises content
management systems and file shares.”
“Like Forrester, Box has seen the traditional ECM and EFSS categories
begin to merge as customer needs and technologies evolve. We are the
only vendor to offer a single platform across both categories, and we
continue to challenge the status quo with our Cloud Content Management
vision," said Jeetu Patel, Chief Product Officer of Box. "We are
continually working with our customers to help them adapt to the digital
age, reimagine how content drives their business processes, and empower
their employees to be more connected, collaborative, and productive.”
The report also states, “Box invests in content services, extending its
collaboration footprint. Box provides a cloud content platform that
allows developers and architects to deliver content-rich apps and go
beyond just file sharing apps."
Enterprise Capabilities, Security and Compliance
Box has continued to drive industry leadership with advanced enterprise
capabilities, consistently raising the bar for privacy and security in
the cloud. Box's offerings in these areas include Box Zones, which
provides customers with in-region data storage; Box KeySafe, which
allows administrators to have control and visibility over data; and Box
Governance, which enables customers to comply with data retention
policies, satisfy e-discovery requests, and effectively manage sensitive
information. Box is also a leader in compliance standards, enabling
customers to maintain adherence to important industry regulations
including HIPAA, FINRA, FedRAMP, and PCI DSS, amongst others.
The Forrester report states, "Box appeals to regulated industries, such
as government, financial services, and life sciences, by offering
governance bundles and premium services that include security and
compliance certifications, key management, data residency, life-cycle
management, and legal hold capabilities."
Strong Customer Momentum in 2017
More than 67% of the Fortune 500 and 80,000 organizations around the
world rely on Box for secure content collaboration. So far in 2017, Box
has added new or expanded deployments with leading enterprises like the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration, Delta Global Services, Lionsgate, Metropolitan
Police Service of London, and thousands others.
As the report states, "Customers report strong satisfaction with Box’s
file sharing capabilities and content repository services…” and,
“Customers should evaluate Box when their requirements involve
comprehensive secure file sync and share and cloud is a strategic
element of their broader content management and collaboration strategy."

At BoxWorks 2017, Box unveiled its first intelligence offerings with Box
Skills, a framework for applying state-of-the-art machine learning
tools to content stored in Box, Box
Skills Kit, a set of developer resources for building custom skills
for Box, and Box
