Box Primary Use Case

JL
Senior Applications Analyst at a real estate/law firm with 5,001-10,000 employees

We had a specific department for information security and the person who handled that is no longer at the company, however, the head of that department was very adamant that at that time Box was the most secure option. He's the one that implemented Box for his department and we continue to use it to stay secure.

Box is a secure location for non-structured content including documents and PowerPoints. Box comes with its own e-signature capability. It has a very simple workflow capability that allows you to build out certain workflows that you are going to repeat on a regular basis. 

Box is very simple, it was designed for anyone who sits in front of a computer to be able to do advanced actions without having to go through any training or any classes. You can put together total workflows for managing inventories or doing marketing campaigns. Anywhere where content is involved, Box can do it.

For enterprise users, the data is in a local repository. We use it for files for the end user process. This is a cloud solution.

In my current organization, we have over 10,000 people using this solution.

I use it very extensively. Users these days are working remotely.

Territory Manager at a tech services company with 1,001-5,000 employees

The most basic use case is that I use it as an online repository to access my files. If I have certain files that I need to access from multiple places, I upload them to Box.

The other use case is as a sharing mechanism. When I have large files that cannot be attached to an email, I upload the attachment to Box, and then I just share the link. I use it as a sharing mechanism.

The next use case is collaboration. For example, if I have an Excel spreadsheet that I'm updating and I want someone else to update it as well, I share the link with that person so that he can update the sheet on his end.

The beauty of Box is that you don't need to download the document on your computer to edit it and then upload it again. You can edit the content while the document is in the cloud.
