Get to know the Content Cloud

Your business runs on content

Clinical research data, loan applications, case work documents: It’s all content. And it’s your organization’s most valuable asset, no matter your industry. Try taking the customer contracts, product specs, budget spreadsheets, and marketing assets out of your daily meetings, your to-dos, your project plans. There’s no work without content, right?

Companies can spend tons of time and effort doing things like eliminating security risks and approving their teams’ favorite apps — which is certainly important work — but it means nothing if they’re not focused on the content at the heart of it all.

That’s where the Content Cloud comes in. It’s a new approach to managing your most valuable information, with a single, secure platform for the entire content lifecycle. We’re talking everything from file creation to sharing, co-editing to e-signature, classification to retention. Every step of the way, Box is there to help. This ebook will dive into that content journey, and show you what sets the Content Cloud apart as the best place to get real work done.

A new approach to the content lifecycle

Let’s say you need to create a customer contract, get approval from your legal department, send it out for signature, and then retain it for your records. From the moment you create that file (a Box Note, a Microsoft Word file, a Google Doc, you name it) and share it with others, to the moment it’s classified and retained, every step of the content journey has to run smoothly. Lots of tools out there promise to streamline at least one step of the process. But only one does it all.

While the content journey is the foundation of all the work you do, it simply can’t be a modern, fully digital lifecycle unless your content is in the cloud. Tracking manual processes (like paper-based signatures), accessing file servers, navigating content silos, and collaborating over email are all tedious and frustrating, but we know they’re often outweighed by the daunting task of content migration — it’s expensive, slow, and complex. Well, we’re here to change that. With the all-new Box Shuttle, we make it easy (and cost-effective) to get all your content into Box. Our team of experts will help you identify which files to migrate and do the scanning and ingesting for you. We’re focused on removing the obstacles that stand in your way, because work is better in the cloud.
