Box BOX is benefiting from solid customer momentum on the back of its portfolio strength, which has been the key growth driver for the company. BOX shares have gained 13.7% on a year-to-date basis.
The latest selection of Box by the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts (“AOUSC”) to power secure cloud content management and collaboration for the Defender Services Office (“DSO”) testifies to the aforesaid fact.
DSO, which supports Federal Public Defender Organizations and Criminal Justice Act panel attorneys, seeks secured sharing of content internally and externally.
DSO is now able to digitize and automate processes with Box. Also, it is able to secure and streamline critical processes by utilizing Box e-signature, security, data classification and workflow capabilities.
Additionally, it strives to provide a secured collaboration space for litigation, while sharing confidential content on the back of Box.
