A Box Case Study

Empowering Your Mobile Workers

A Modern Mobile IT Strategy

Today’s most productive employees are not tied to a desk, an office, or a location. They are mobile. And your company’s IT strategy has to be ready to support them with easy, reliable, 24/7 access to the business information they need, from anywhere in the world, across a broad range of communication devices.

Here’s how some of the nation’s most progressive corporations are meeting the many needs of their mobile workers — without overwhelming their IT departments – with Box.

Make Sure Your IT Strategy is Up to the Mobile Challenge … with Box

According to Forrester Research, nearly 60% of all corporate employees share, access and manage vital content from outside the office — with their iPhone, iPad, BlackBerry, Android or other mobile device. Current trends certainly indicate that number is going to continue to increase rapidly.1

It just makes sense. Mobile content management increases user productivity, ramps up customer engagement, enhances customer service, maximizes collaboration and drives more effective business decision-making. That’s why nearly half of all firms surveyed say they’re focused on supporting more mobile applications for employees whose “office” is — increasingly — “wherever they are.”1

Here’s What a State-of-the-art Mobility Strategy Looks Like

A Box mobile IT strategy meshes seamlessly with your existing systems and procedures. Beyond that, it is designed to meet the critical needs of both mobile users and IT providers. These two groups have very different perspectives when it comes to mobile content requirements, and the needs of each are equally important to the success of any mobile strategy.

For busy mobile users…

• Anywhere access: Sharing and managing files from any device

• Unified content view: Keeping desktop, browser and mobile data in sync

• Cohesive collaboration: Taking the hassles out of working together remotely

For savvy IT departments…

• Supportability: Rolling out an ever-expanding variety of company-specific mobile apps

• Security: Maintaining central security for remote device management coupled with auto logout and locking

• Visibility: Gaining insight into how content is managed and accessed in the organization, including password/permission management and comprehensive auditing and reporting

“ Now I work anywhere, anytime. I haven’t taken my laptop on the road for a long time and, in fact, I run the entire company off

my iPad.”Lance Locher

From New York to New Zealand, Box puts Total Traffic Network in the content-sharing fast lane

With the company he founded now serving more than 100 metropolitan areas around the world, Lance Locher knew that mobile content-sharing was no longer a “nice-to-have” but a “must-have.”

“ The ability to be organized when you have so many markets and so many people, with all of us on the road ... it drove us to seek a solution like Box.”

Lance Locher, Founder and Senior Vice President, Clear Channel – Total Traffic Network

A Brief Corporate Snapshot

Since 1996, Clear Channel – Total Traffic Network has delivered real-time traffic data via in-car and portable navigation systems, broadcast media, wireless and Internet-based services. Today, it’s the largest North American provider of consumer traffic subscription services and a key division of Clear Channel Communications, whose radio and TV stations, outdoor and display advertising spans 45 countries across five continents.

The Challenge: Taking Total Traffic Network’s Content-Sharing on the Road

“Before Box, we used internal servers, local servers, individual servers and even tried SharePoint for awhile,” Locher explains, “but none of the solutions really gave us what we needed, particularly as the company moved outside the U.S.”

The most pressing need, as the company’s operations began to span the globe, was mobile content management.

The Simple Solution: Box, the Three-Letter Word for Mobile File-Sharing

Desktop, laptop, iPad, iPhone, Android – Box goes wherever Total Traffic Network goes, delivering large media files, presentations, graphics and much more. With Box, Locher and his geographically dispersed teams can share all critical content, whether they’re across the hall or across an ocean.

“We use Box for all our file-sharing, to collaborate on data testing, to organize our files and more,” said Locher. “And with employees all over the world speaking different languages, the ability to get people on one platform quickly, getting it up and running almost immediately – Box was a slam-dunk for us.”
