Box Announces Hubs to Revolutionize Content Publishing in the Enterprise

• Enables Multi-Document Content Search and Summarization Powered by Box AI

• Announces Beta for Box AI Capabilities in November

Box, Inc., the leading Content Cloud, unveiled Box Hubs to make it easier than ever to securely curate and publish content across the enterprise. Box Hubs will deeply integrate with Box AI so customers will be able to find answers to critical questions in seconds, automatically summarize vast amounts of information, and effortlessly create new content – all based on the documents users organize in a Hub.

“Box announces Hubs to revolutionize content publishing in the enterprise”

“Companies are facing unprecedented challenges when it comes to organizing and making sense of vast amounts of content,” said Aaron Levie, Co-founder and CEO of Box. “Keeping teams on the same page; giving people the latest data; putting the right information in the right partner’s hands – are all essential to how organizations run. With Box Hubs and Box AI, we’re making content in Box infinitely more useful and valuable. From sales enablement and HR policies, to brand libraries and product development teams, Box Hubs will transform how we collect, manage, and publish content.”

According to IDC, approximately 90 percent* of data generated by organizations today is unstructured. This data includes all the content flowing through an enterprise, including spreadsheets, videos, documents, and more, and contains an organization’s most important information.

“As the amount of unstructured data continues to increase, organizations can no longer overlook the challenges created when the content is sprawled across silos and applications,” said Wayne Kurtzman, Research Vice President of Collaboration and Communities, IDC. “In addition to mitigating security and compliance risks, new ways of leveraging content drive better ways of finding needed content, create new insights, and become a strategic advantage. Box Hubs has the potential to transform how enterprises organize their information and drive workflows.”
