All New Box Relay to Simplify and Accelerate Business Processes Across the Extended Enterprise
May 22 2019 - 8:00AM
Business Wire
Box (NYSE: BOX), a leader in Cloud Content Management, today
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.
“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. Enterprises now have one platform for secure content
management, workflow, and collaboration that’s built for how we
work today.”
"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.
New Tasks Center and Enhanced Notifications
Box Tasks extends our customer’s ability to complete simple
business processes, like one-step review and approvals. With the
improved Box Tasks, we’re providing three key updates:
- A new Task Center and updated UI that
allows users to see all their tasks from one simple view, while
mobile push notifications give users the ability to approve tasks
from anywhere
- The ability to assign tasks to groups
and get exportable reports on what’s been rejected vs.
approved
- The ability to trigger Tasks within a
Box Relay workflow, furthering the automation of repeatable
business processes
File Request Links
File Request Links is a new way to collect content submissions
from coworkers, partners, customers or any member of an extended
enterprise. With File Request Links, it’s easy to:
- Simplify content requests by generating
a shareable ‘request file’ URL that can be shared with anyone
- Streamline external collaboration by
intuitively dragging and dropping files or collections of files
into a folder without requiring a Box account
- Accelerate processes by enabling
uploaded content to automatically trigger a process in the all new
Box Relay.
