The Problem
As Box has grown more complex, our employees
face greater challenges in obtaining the accurate
information they need to be successful, resulting
in confusion, misalignment, and inefficiencies.
We are challenged in effectively communicating
cross-org at scale.

Improved connection between employees
Better access to relevant information
Available when and where employees need it
Solution: A New Intranet

the intranet, Box or other apps
Employees are guided to the
content they need
