All New Box Relay to Simplify and Accelerate Business Processes Across the Extended Enterprise

Box, a leader in Cloud Content Management, announced the all new Box Relay to simplify and accelerate business processes across any organization’s extended enterprise of employees, partners and customers. The new Box Relay features a powerful new workflow engine, simplified user experience, and a rich menu of triggers, conditions, and outcomes that will make it easier than ever to automate processes around content and improve efficiency without intensive IT support.

“The new Box Relay brings powerful automation to improve these critical business processes, whether it’s creating sales proposals and marketing assets, or driving budget sign-offs and contract renewals, and more. Enterprises now have one platform for secure content management, workflow, and collaboration that’s built for how we work today.”

“Enterprise workflows built around content like document reviews and approvals and employee on-boarding and off-boarding need to be reimagined. They’re disconnected from the apps teams use every day, locked behind IT, and don’t support external collaboration,” said Jeetu Patel, Chief Product Officer of Box. “The new Box Relay brings powerful automation to improve these critical business processes, whether it’s creating sales proposals and marketing assets, or driving budget sign-offs and contract renewals, and more.

“Businesses today are operating faster than ever before and producing volumes of unstructured information at unprecedented levels. Process modernization is a key requirement to ensuring companies stay relevant in the quickly evolving cloud environments,” said IDC Research Manager, Marci Maddox. “Organizations should look to vendors that equip all business users with the ability to automate content-centric workflows to drive greater engagement and achieve efficiencies via economies of scale.”

The all new Box Relay includes:

  • A powerful workflow engine: Extensive list of ‘if this then that’ (IFTTT) triggers and outputs to support various multi-step processes, including both sequential and parallel workflows. The new Box Relay also supports conditional logic, providing the ability to route content based on metadata attributes, such as date, dropdown, multi-select, or open text fields.
  • A simple no-code workflow builder: Designed for business users, the updated UI empowers process owners to build and edit their own processes without any support required from IT.
  • Seamless external collaboration and intuitive new mobile experience: Customers, vendors or partners can be assigned tasks, so the process does not break down when content flows across or between organizations. Users can also view a list of pending tasks and receive real-time push notifications on task assignments all from their mobile device.
  • Improved visibility and access controls: An updated dashboard with real-time visibility into workflow history to track progress. Process owners can see who created, updated or deleted workflows, with an exportable audit history to streamline reporting requirements. Admins can also elect specific users or all users to create, edit and manage their own workflows.
  • Deep integration with other enterprise workflow platforms: Supports existing Box integrations with business process systems like Salesforce, Pega and Nintex.
  • Tighter integration in Box: Rebuilt from the ground up on Box, Relay now inherits all the benefits of the Box Cloud Content Management platform, including advanced security and compliance, rich Box Platform APIs, prebuilt productivity integrations like Slack, O365 and DocuSign, and user-friendly collaboration features like automatic push notifications across mobile and web.

With Box Relay, businesses are able to accelerate cycle times for business-critical processes that rely on content; cut costs by improving efficiency and productivity; and reduce the cost of both IT investments and the risk of data loss that stems from processes currently running outside a secure content management, workflow, and collaboration platform.
