Box Goes on Partner Recruitment Drive

Cloud
Box has announced that it has expanded its partner ecosystem in Europe, with a total of 130 European companies now in the Box Partner Network. In the last year, Box doubled its network across Europe, forming partnerships with companies like Capgemini, KERNEL Networks, Bechtle-Comsoft, EVRY and CRMWaypoint.

“The rise of cloud, mobile technologies is having a profound effect on how companies structure and manage information,” said Wayne Cook, VP of Channel and Alliances, EMEA. “This shift requires new strategies and a new mindset, which our partners across Europe are embracing with Box. We’ve sought out relationships with leading companies who share our vision, and have built a robust, far-reaching partner ecosystem in the process.”

The Box Partner Network encompasses three kinds of partners: system integrators, service providers, and the channel network. Multiple new partners from each of these areas have joined the European contingent of the Box Partner Network in the last 12 months.

Box provides simple and secure content sharing and collaboration from any device. The company has more than 25 million users worldwide at more than 225,000 businesses, including 99 percent of the Fortune 500. Box has been named a leader by both Forrester Research ("The Forrester Wave™: File Sync and Share Platforms, Q3 2013."1) and Gartner, Inc. ("MarketScope for Enterprise File Synchronization and Sharing2") for file sync and sharing.
