SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 10/09/12 -- Today Box announced several product, partner and platform updates in front nearly 2,000 customers and developers from around the world at BoxWorks 2012. Box co-founder and CEO Aaron Levie unveiled an all-new Box, making it easier than ever for the more than 14 million individuals and 140,000 businesses that use Box to discover information, connect with collaborators and engage with content. The company also launched a new technology for integrating Box directly into major enterprise applications, including NetSuite and Jive, as well as the addition of 100 new Box OneCloud partners.

"People and content are at the heart of every business," said Aaron Levie, co-founder and CEO of Box. "Our customers are transforming how they power collaboration and manage business information across applications, mobile devices and the cloud. Box's mission will always be to deliver innovations that help them lead that transformation."

In his keynote address, Levie pointed to three factors heightening demand for content and collaboration in the cloud: unprecedented growth in post-PC devices (more than 1.3 billion smartphones and tablets are predicted to ship in 2016, according to IDC); a projected 100-percent increase in the number of mobile workers worldwide by 2015 (IDC); and an explosion in the amount of data that organizations are creating and need to manage.

Box customers, including McAfee, Nationwide, Netflix, and Electronic Arts, shared strategies for navigating the changing landscape of enterprise IT with the broader Box community at BoxWorks 2012.

All New Box: Easier than Ever to Discover, Connect and Engage with Content
The slick, completely re-designed Box makes it easier than ever to discover information, connect with collaborators, and engage with people and content:

• Discover: The new Box simplifies content discovery and browsing by putting search at the center of the user experience so it's easy to find and access critical content with just a few key strokes.
  
  
• Connect: Users can now easily find and collaborate with colleagues on Box, including recently joined users, with a clearly visible sidebar that can be browsed and clicked through to display everyone in their organization on Box. There is also a new real time workflow feed where users can track mentions, tasks or messages assigned to them from anywhere in Box.
  
  
• Engage: Box Edit, introduced earlier this year in beta, now allows users to easily create or revise content without leaving Box. Any content opened with Box Edit can be edited in any desktop application and saved back to Box automatically. In addition to Box Edit, users can now "like" files, further expanding the array of social workflow features on Box, which also includes "@mentions" of collaborators and the ability to post a comment on Box by simply replying to a Box email notification.
  
  

Bringing Box to Major Enterprise Applications
To bring the new Box experience and its entire suite of collaboration and management features to other leading enterprise applications, Box announced today the availability of a new HTML5-based embeddable framework, called Box Embed™.
