P&G Case Study

When P&G Needed a Simple Content Sharing Solution, They Synced With Box

Welcome to P&G’s world, pre-Box.

P&G needed a content-sharing platform that would empower employees to share and access content anywhere, anytime, on any device. Simultaneously, a new solution would need to be affordable and fully compatible with P&G’s legacy platforms.

With thousands of employees working from laptops and mobile devices, P&G needed mobile content sharing that would work for everybody, everywhere – a simple, secure, scalable platform that both users and IT would want to adopt. And finally, P&G needed a solution that would make sharing content with external partners and vendors as easy as sending an email message.

Box was the provider that P&G chose to deliver this solution.

A brief corporate snapshot: Founded in 1837, P&G is the world’s largest consumer goods company. P&G’s wide range of products are sold in 180 countries. Named one of Fortune magazine’s 2011 Most Admired Companies, Cincinnati-based P&G is focused on delivering branded products that touch and improve the lives of more than 4.4 billion people. P&G’s sales exceed $80 billion.

based on their lives as consumers and how that was driving trends in IT.” At the same time, Paul observes, “We needed tools that would complement our current in-place technologies.”

Besides effortless integration, P&G wanted a content-sharing solution that:

Was easy to learn so that it could be easily adopted

Offered a sophisticated security suite that worked well with P&G’s security and controls, yet enabled simple external sharing – and let external partners share content with P&G

Was affordable, scalable and capable

The Answer: Box, The Content-Sharing Platform That Plays Well With Others And Empowers Employees

“P&G was drawn to Box because of its rich features and excellent usability,” Paul says. “Also, the Box team was willing and interested in discussing the security features P&G needed.”

Not only is Box an easy-to-learn solution, Paul also sees it as a robust storage option. “We are beginning to use Box for small groups who have traditionally stored large data sets on outdated platforms.”

Further, he observes: “Box has empowered the company’s users to easily access and share content from multiple company-owned PCs and mobile devices, while meeting P&G’s stringent information security requirements.”

In addition, Box Sync automatically keeps multiple folders from a user’s Box account in sync with their computer desktop. This productivity-booster enables whole teams to keep in sync with one another with edits and deletions delivered to everyone’s desktop.

Paul also appreciates Box’s dependability and customer service. “Box has been comprehensive and reliable for us. I can always get someone on the phone, and they’re always helpful.” He adds: “While Box is a very innovative, responsive and nimble company, they also take security and controls very seriously.” (In fact, Box is a leader in content-management security, with role-based access controls, a 99.9% uptime guarantee, data encryption using 256-bit SSL and SSAE 16 Type II Compliance.)

Paul adds, “Box is very easy to learn; people get started in five minutes. It just works.”

New users are adopting Box at P&G because they appreciate easy access to their data from anywhere and simple file collaboration with external business partners. “These days, I’m seeing a lot of viral adoption of Box in marketing, product design and field sales,” says Paul.

“ P&G employees who have been using Box for awhile tell me they have

forgotten how painful file collaboration used to be.”
