Box and AWS expand partnership to empower organizations with generative AI

Box, Inc., a leader in Intelligent Content Management, has announced an expanded strategic partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS), a division of Amazon, aimed at leveraging generative AI to boost productivity and innovation for organizations of all sizes. This collaboration integrates Box’s Intelligent Content Cloud with Amazon Bedrock’s advanced AI models, enabling companies to create and optimize applications efficiently and securely. As a result, Box customers can now access powerful AI models directly through Box AI, starting with Anthropic’s Claude and Amazon Titan, to harness generative AI capabilities.

The integration between Box AI and Amazon Bedrock offers organizations the ability to build generative AI applications that combine world-class AI models with Box’s secure data management platform. This synergy allows companies to quickly generate insights, summarize content, automate workflows, and complete tasks securely using their existing data in Box. The newly introduced Box connector for Amazon Q Business further enhances these capabilities, providing seamless access to data managed within Box and creating an intelligent, generative AI-powered assistant to streamline operations.

Ben Kus, Chief Technology Officer at Box, underscored the significance of trust and reliability in driving business growth through AI. He stressed the need for enterprises to collaborate with strategic technology partners that can provide both accuracy and security in AI-driven initiatives. Kus pointed out that the partnership with AWS is transforming how organizations utilize intelligence in their content, allowing them to apply trusted AI models within Box’s secure environment.

The collaboration between AWS and Box aims to enable companies to securely utilize their proprietary data and content to maximize the benefits of generative AI. According to Vasi Philomin, AWS’s Vice President of Generative AI, this partnership facilitates the seamless integration of advanced AI models and applications, allowing organizations to unlock new capabilities that drive innovation across industries, businesses, and individuals globally.

This partnership also opens up new opportunities for companies to leverage cutting-edge AI solutions across various industries. For instance, financial services can use Box and AWS’s integrations to enhance fraud detection, automate compliance, and improve investment strategies. Law firms can streamline legal document review and contract analysis, while nonprofit organizations can analyze large datasets to strengthen policy development. Life sciences companies stand to benefit as well, using generative AI to accelerate drug research by extracting critical insights from clinical data.

Box and AWS’s collaboration isn’t new. The two companies have been working together for nearly a decade, delivering innovative solutions to both startups and large enterprises. AWS’s robust global infrastructure supports Box Zones, which allows businesses to store and manage data in specific regions to comply with complex regulatory requirements while ensuring the highest levels of security. This infrastructure enables Box to offer flexibility and scalability to organizations, enhancing application performance and meeting data residency needs.

Through this expanded partnership, Box and AWS are equipping organizations with the tools needed to unlock valuable insights, improve efficiency, and navigate evolving business challenges using generative AI. By combining AWS’s powerful AI capabilities with Box’s secure content management platform, businesses can stay ahead in a rapidly changing digital landscape. With AI embedded at the core of its platform, Box is ready to revolutionize content management and help organizations worldwide tap into the full potential of their data and intelligence.
