U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs selects Box for Cloud Content Management

Business Wire
Box, Inc. (NYSE:BOX), a leader in cloud content management,
today announced that the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)
has selected Box as part of its digital transformation strategy and
issued an Authority to Operate. The VA will leverage Box’s cloud
content management platform to modernize its technical
infrastructure and drive new ways to work in the cloud.
The VA’s mission is to provide Veterans the world-class benefits
and services they have earned – and to do so by adhering to the
highest standards of compassion, commitment, excellence,
professionalism, integrity, accountability, and stewardship.
To fulfill its mission, VA leadership is re-thinking how the
organization and its systems, APIs and data are designed for a
digital-first agency. The VA selected Box to enable its staff,
doctors and Veterans to securely share and manage critical
healthcare processes and content, including:
- Health research data sets
- Grant proposals and submissions
- COVID-19 research data sets with academic institutions
- Educational materials for both staff and Veterans
Leveraging the Box platform’s capabilities, VA researchers will
share COVID-19 data sets with VA administration officials to
determine which medical facilities to open, and at what levels.
Construction project managers will use Box to share AutoCAD
building design files and project documents with their contracted
construction teams. Medical personnel will be able to digitally
collect treatment plans from Veterans that have received care in
the community to greatly reduce their cost of care while in the
VA.
“The VA is leading the way on how government agencies are
leveraging modern technology to better engage with stakeholders and
improve mission outcomes,” said Sonny Hashmi, Managing Director of
Global Public Sector at Box. “The VA's incredibly important
mission, powered by its cloud and modernization strategy, and in
partnership with companies like Box, is poised to help the agency
re-imagine Veteran engagement, and bring agility to mission
delivery, while ensuring the privacy and security of sensitive
data. We are thrilled to support the VA mission.”
Agencies and departments across the US Federal Government
responsible for healthcare, defense, educational, judicial,
legislative and regulatory oversight are using Box to be more
efficient, streamlined and agile. Box is FedRAMP compliant and
received Department of Defense SRG Impact Level 4 Authorization by
the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA). Box also announced
last week that it will add FedRamp High certification for federal
customers. With today’s announcement, the VA joins leading global
organizations that have moved to Box to power new ways of working,
including the USDA Farm Production and Conservation and Forest
Service, Food and Drug Administration, Department of Justice, and
the District of Columbia Government.
