Large enterprises are always in need of solutions that connect their people, data, and applications. Box is a cloud content management company that has partnerships with huge technology companies like IBM and Microsoft which is giving them credibility and helping it expand in Europe and Asia.
The trend for businesses to switch to cloud computing is unlikely to slow down any time soon, giving Box a wave to ride, so growth should continue for a long time.
Box recently signed up a group of leading universities to help with their digital transformation and modernising their IT strategy. They're continuing to find innovative ways to help businesses move to cloud services.
