March 16 2020 - 10:00AM
Business Wire
Box, Inc. (NYSE: BOX), a leader in cloud content management,
today announced new integrations with Microsoft 365, building on
Box’s interoperability within Microsoft environments. These include
the integration of Box within Microsoft Teams, which will be
generally available on March 31, as well as an updated Box add-in
for Microsoft Outlook on mobile and new security and identity
integrations.
“Tens of thousands of customers across every industry and in
every region are using Box together with Microsoft,” said Jeetu
Patel, Chief Product Officer at Box. “That is why we are working to
make the Box experience in Microsoft 365 as seamless as possible,
providing users with a powerful combination to transform the way
they work.”
“With Microsoft 365, we are committed to delivering solutions
that promote collaboration and productivity among all our
customers,” said Kirk Koenigsbauer, Corporate Vice President for
Microsoft 365. “We are proud to support a vibrant ecosystem through
an open and interoperable platform that allows companies like Box
to create tailored and integrated experiences for their users.”
Box and Microsoft share a community of customers across the
globe, including Western Union and Rodan + Fields to government
agencies, nonprofit organizations and tens of thousands of small
and medium businesses.
“Our workforce collaborates daily in Box and Microsoft and they
benefit from the ability to seamlessly access, create and share
content wherever they are, in real-time,” said Evan Wayne, Vice
President, Corporate & Shared Services at Rodan + Fields. “Box
and Microsoft’s integrated platform allows for secure, efficient
and frictionless collaboration around the globe.”
Users within Box can already easily and securely open and edit
files using Microsoft’s Office 365 editors, while users in Outlook
can readily share Box content within email. Additionally, Box works
seamlessly with Azure Active Directory for identity and access
management, Intune for mobile device management, and Microsoft
Cloud App Security for cloud security. Box is also a member of
Microsoft’s Intelligent Security Association.
Today, Box is announcing the following:
Microsoft Teams
The all-new Box and Microsoft Teams integration will be
generally available starting March 31, 2020. This integration
enables users to access and share Box content directly in Teams
channels or chats. All channel content will be available with the
new Box Files Tab. In addition, team level deployment will be
available with automated folder creation and permission mapping
between Box and Teams.
Mobile Products
Available today, the new Box Add-in for Microsoft Outlook will
now support saving email attachments to Box for both iOS and
Android. This builds on the existing support for the Outlook app on
Windows, Mac or web with Box for Outlook. This comes on the heels
of the February general availability of Microsoft’s new unified
mobile Office app, which supports Box. This integration enables
users to open, edit and save Box files directly within the new
Office app.
Security and Identity Products
Available today, admins can use Box Shield to restrict printing
and downloads of files in Box from Office 365 web editors (Word,
PowerPoint, Excel) based on Box security classifications. Later
this year, a new Azure AD integration will provide one-click
single-sign-on (SSO), enabling customers to set up the
configuration with minimal effort. In addition, Box will be adding
support for Microsoft Authenticator for 2-factor authentication of
managed users and external collaborators via time-based OTP
(one-time password). Box will also extend Intune support for
additional use cases such as Mobile Application Management (MAM)
with Mobile Device Management (MDM) enrollment for Android devices.
Finally, Box will be investing to build a new Azure Information
Protection (AIP) integration to read and enforce AIP classification
labels using Box Shield in the second half of 2020.
