Box today announced it has been appointed to the File Sync and Share framework by Jisc
Following a rigorous pre-screening, Box is now available through a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to higher and further education institutions and researchers in the UK.
Dan Perry, director of product and marketing, Jisc said:
“Research and education organisations across our community are calling for access to sync and share facilities that aid collaboration, while also meeting the sector’s increasingly stringent security requirements. Through the File Sync and Share DPS, institutions have access to a range of flexible options that will help them better share and manage their content.”
David Quantrell, Box senior vice president and general manager of EMEA said:
“Advancements in technology and new ways of working can mean legacy IT solutions are not always suitable for today’s educational institutions, which often need to manage critical documents easily and securely from anywhere and on any device. Our partnership with Jisc removes the barriers to cloud adoption within the education sector by delivering a platform that supports education programmes and strategies.”
Box makes it easy for more than 27 million individuals at 240,000 businesses around the world to share and collaborate across devices, while providing IT departments with unparalleled insight and control. With today’s announcement, Jisc joins a growing number of industries that have agreements with Box, including the UK government, which deployed Box to its G-Cloud portal in 2013.
Box is available to HE , FE and specialist institutions as well as research councils in the UK through the DPS.
