Oxera Consulting LLP, a leading European economics, finance, and data science consultancy, has adopted Box as its centralised cloud platform to enhance secure collaboration and streamline data management across its international operations. With offices in the UK, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands, Oxera has integrated Box’s technology to meet growing business demands around data security, compliance, and effective collaboration.
The adoption of Box, the Intelligent Content Cloud platform, marks a significant move for Oxera as it seeks to modernise its workflow and data governance. Joseph Bell, Project Champion and Partner at Oxera, said the decision aligns with the firm’s commitment to providing first-class services while securely managing information. “We prioritise providing our clients with exceptional service, which includes the secure and efficient management of information and collaboration. Our decision to adopt Box reflects this commitment,” Bell explained.
Since its deployment in June, Box has become a crucial element of Oxera’s operations, enabling the consultancy to extract value from its unstructured content while maintaining a high level of data security. The platform’s rollout was supported by Box Consulting, whose tailored change management and training sessions ensured a smooth transition for the firm’s employees.
Why Oxera Chose Box
Oxera selected Box’s Enterprise Plus solution to gain access to its full suite of Content Cloud features, including tools for efficient project management, secure collaboration, and improved data governance. With the need to manage critical client and firm data securely, Oxera has implemented Box to streamline document retention and compliance policies while reducing reliance on on-premise servers.
One of the key reasons for Oxera’s choice was Box’s ability to provide a consistent user experience across its various locations. The firm has also migrated 12.1TB of content to the platform, significantly cutting down its on-site server requirements. In addition to this, Box integrates seamlessly with Oxera’s existing business-critical applications such as Microsoft Teams, Office, and NetSuite.
Looking to the Future with AI
Oxera’s Chief Information Officer, Orlando Milford, highlighted the potential for Box to transform the firm’s future operations through enterprise-grade artificial intelligence (AI). He pointed to features like Box’s Metadata API, which has the potential to automatically extract key information from documents at scale. The consultancy is also eager to explore new tools such as Box Hubs and AI-driven technologies like GPT-4o integration, which could further enhance digital asset management.
“We’re really excited about the opportunities with enterprise-grade AI down the road and the value it will bring to our business,” Milford said.
Strengthening the Partnership
Samantha Wessels, Senior Vice President and General Manager for EMEA at Box, welcomed Oxera to the growing list of global organisations leveraging Box’s platform. “We’re delighted to be a strategic partner to Oxera as its teams modernise, secure, and transform their workflows with Box,” Wessels remarked.
Box already empowers many of the world’s largest and most regulated enterprises, including AstraZeneca, Eurostar, and Arriva. By adopting Box, Oxera has positioned itself at the forefront of secure and intelligent collaboration, setting the stage for future growth driven by AI-powered innovations.
