Box Transforms Mobile Enterprise With Box OneCloud
PALO ALTO, CA, Mar 28, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Box today announced Box OneCloud, the first mobile cloud for the
enterprise to unify business information across devices and
applications. Box OneCloud provides a suite of more than 30 powerful,
easily discoverable productivity applications that enable workers to
securely access, edit, and share content from their mobile devices.
Available immediately on iOS for all users, Box OneCloud delivers the
best tools and services for the post-PC era enterprise.
"Today there are thousands of mobile applications storing data in a
variety of information silos, stalling business processes and
efficiencies," said Aaron Levie, co-founder and CEO of Box. "Box
OneCloud unifies your business applications across devices to power
enterprise productivity in the post-PC era. We're fueling the engine
of mobile innovation, making enterprise workers more informed, agile
and productive."
iOS- and Android-powered mobile devices have reshaped the business
landscape. According to a recent report by Forrester(1) one-third of
devices used by business professionals are non-Microsoft. Further,
Window's device share will fall below 50% by 2016, pressing CIOs to
update device and security policies to ensure employees are
productive and their data is safe.
Box OneCloud Partner Integrations
Box is introducing over 30 Box
OneCloud apps that help users discover, create and share content from
their mobile devices. Four premier Box OneCloud integration partners,
including Quickoffice, Adobe EchoSign, Nuance PaperPort Notes and PDF
Expert, support the deepest level of integration with Box through a
new round-trip workflow. The round-trip workflow ensures that content
updates for each app are instantly stored and secured on Box. These
premier partners provide advanced document editing, secure
e-signature, digital note taking and PDF annotation. All OneCloud
integrations are accessible today via a new Box mobile app gallery,
enabling users to easily browse and download Box OneCloud apps to
their iOS device.
"Box and Quickoffice recognize the importance of empowering the
mobile workforce with tools and services that accelerate business
productivity," said Alan Masarek, CEO of Quickoffice. "Our ability to
seamlessly edit, store and share Office documents brings a new level
of usability and efficiency to Box users managing their business
critical content from their tablet or smart phone."
Additional Box OneCloud partner integrations include BrainShark, Call
Trunk, DocuSign, Fileboard, GoodReader, JotNot, Openera and Podio.

New Application Developer Tools
The Box OneCloud platform will also
include a collection of developer tools to make it easier than ever
to build mobile application integrations with Box. The new Box App to
App Integration Framework significantly reduces the amount of time --
from weeks to days -- to develop apps with Box by integrating
directly to the file management capabilities of Box's mobile
platform. This new framework provides seamless access to content
stored in Box, including offline access.
Box OneCloud will provide millions of Box users with a centralized
and secure business productivity suite. Box OneCloud is available
today for iOS and will be extended to Android and other mobile
operating systems.
