"Content migration is a huge pain point for any large enterprise shifting to the cloud"
REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Box, a leading enterprise content platform, today announced Box Shuttle, a new service that enables organizations to simply and securely migrate their content to Box. With Box Shuttle customers will be able to securely migrate millions of files into Box, all while making their content smarter through the process. Box Shuttle combines migration tools with award-winning expertise from Box Consulting, which has a deep foundation in data migration and content organization.
"People do their best work when they have the most relevant information at their fingertips, without sacrificing security, collaboration and productivity. That's the power of the cloud. But moving off legacy systems – especially for enterprises with hundreds of terabytes of data – is a complex undertaking that often takes too much time and taxes resources,” said Aaron Levie, co-founder and CEO, Box. “Box Shuttle makes the process faster, more secure and efficient. We aren’t just moving businesses to the cloud, we’re getting them there faster so they can focus on the collaboration and epic work that will drive their business.”
Box Shuttle will provide tremendous value to organizations across the globe that seek faster ways to transition to the cloud so they can transform their organization with better collaboration on their critical business information and content. Early customer feedback from some of the largest enterprises in the world has been extremely positive.
"Content migration is a huge pain point for any large enterprise shifting to the cloud," said Greg Cannan, Divisional Information Officer at Toyota USA. "We are excited to see Box's focus on creating a truly seamless end-to-end service for its customers. The implications of Box Shuttle migrating content while making it smarter by applying metadata and retention policies has strong potential!"
Box Shuttle offers the following services to businesses that would like to centralize on Box for modern content management and collaboration:
Planning and strategy: Box partners with customers to create an individualized migration plan with key milestones from inception to delivery and implementation guidance to ensure your move stays on track. By partnering directly with Box and avoiding third-party intermediaries, customers can achieve greater predictability over the outcome and lower common risks associated with migration.
Content analysis and lifecycle assessment: Box works with users to determine what content to keep live, purge, or archive, as well as identify the security and governance requirements for each piece of content.
User permission and attribute mapping: Box will apply existing user permissions, metadata, retention policies and other custom attributes as files into Box, ensuring that content is secure and collaborative in the new environment.
Track progress: Customers have full control over data throughout the migration process and can monitor progress during all stages.
“Organizations that are embracing Box for content collaboration need help moving their content to the cloud – especially when sunsetting existing systems,” said Melissa Webster, Program Vice President, Content and Digital Media Technologies, IDC. “Migrating that content brings plenty of challenges, ranging from bandwidth costs to the preservation of important contextual information including metadata, retention plans, and user permissions. It’s great to see Box addressing this with Box Shuttle.”
Today, more than 62,000 businesses, including 59% of the Fortune 500 rely on Box for secure content management and collaboration. Multinational businesses like AstraZeneca, Eli Lilly, General Electric, P&G and Schneider Electric have teams spanning the globe that require secure international collaboration to be successful.
Box Consulting was introduced in 2013 as an advanced professional services team aimed at helping businesses of all sizes get up and running on Box efficiently and at scale. Since its debut, Box Consulting has helped some of the largest businesses in the world, including those in regulated industries, execute successful transitions to the cloud.
Pricing and Availability
Box Shuttle is available in beta today, with general availability expected in Fall 2016. The service is available for an additional fee depending on the size of the migration.
