Jul 26, 2017
REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Box, Inc. (NYSE:BOX), a leader in cloud content management, today announced that it has been named a leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Content Collaborations Platforms. Gartner Magic Quadrants evaluate vendors within a particular market segment based on their completeness of vision and their ability to execute on that vision. Box was evaluated among 14 vendors in the market and was positioned the furthest for completeness of vision.
“The shift to the cloud and mobile is fundamentally changing how people and organizations work, and businesses increasingly recognize the need to adopt modern platforms for driving collaboration and content management," said Aaron Levie, co-founder and CEO of Box. “As the pioneer in cloud content management, Box is uniquely positioned to address this demand and solve customer challenges. We focus on content and its use for improving collaboration, speeding up business processes and delivering custom digital experiences.”
Today Box powers cloud content management for more than 74,000 businesses around the world, including 64 percent of the Fortune 500, helping people collaborate securely on their most important content. We believe as a result, Box is a consistent leader across the industry analyst community. In addition to being named a leader in the 2017 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Content Collaborations Platforms (formerly Enterprise File Sync and Share) for the fourth consecutive year, Box has also been named a leader in a variety of respected analyst reports, including:

Forrester Wave Enterprise File Sync & Share Cloud Solutions Q1 2016
Aragon Research Globe for Mobile Content Management 2016
Nucleus Research ECM Value Matrix 2016
Ovum Decision Matrix: Enterprise File Sync and Share 2017
