"Box will provide us with a platform to help manage our content more effectively and to be more efficient and productive in our work for children."
LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Box [NYSE: BOX] today announced that Unicef UK is deploying Box’s cloud content management and collaboration platform to its employees. In addition to providing collaboration, Box will improve content management and mobile information sharing, both internally and externally.
“Our staff work with colleagues and partners around the world on hundreds of projects,” said Ian Williamson, ICT Director at Unicef UK. “Box will provide us with a platform to help manage our content more effectively and to be more efficient and productive in our work for children.”
“Unicef UK’s move to Box underscores the increased adoption we’ve seen in Europe, as organizations and companies move towards a more mobile and collaborative workforce,” said David Quantrell, Box senior vice president and general manager of EMEA. “Unicef UK helps to provide essential care for the vulnerable and it is crucial that its IT systems help to support employees. Box helps make sure staff can share and collaborate wherever they are and on any device in a secure way.”
Unicef UK raises funds to protect children in danger, transform their lives and build a safer world for children. With the support of partners, individuals and organizations, Unicef UK also works to influence policy makers to safeguard the rights of children everywhere—especially the most disadvantaged.
Box makes it easy for more than 41 million users at 54,000 organizations around the world to share and collaborate. With today’s announcement, Unicef UK joins a growing list of non-profits who have moved to Box, including the International Rescue Committee, the UN Foundation and Oxfam.
In May 2014, Box announced Box.org, an initiative focused on empowering global nonprofits to achieve their missions and deliver lasting social impact through technology.
