RWS Global Chooses Box for Intelligent Content Management
Today we are delighted to announce that RWS Global, a worldwide leader in live experiences, has selected Box as its unified platform to intelligently manage content across its organization. RWS Global is deploying Box to support its creation of worldwide customized experiences such as theatrical productions, sporting events, multimedia and more. The leading producer of live entertainment offers end-to-end services from ideation to operations and will utilize Box to manage and streamline extensive projects involving multiple stakeholders and complex workflows.
"We’re trusted by the world’s biggest brands, entertainment providers and institutions to envision and bring to life exceptional entertainment and live moments in every corner of the globe," said Patrick Nolan, Senior IT Director at RWS Global. “With offices in London, New York, Cincinnati and Sydney, it’s very important for our worldwide teams to collaborate efficiently. As such we chose Box as our centralized Intelligent Content Management provider to support our teams of designers, creators and producers manage projects for our many high-profile clients, including Apple, The Coca-Cola Company, TUI Group, Rugby World Cup and Europa-Park Resort. We’re currently migrating our existing content management systems to Box, including Egnyte, Dropbox and SharePoint to make Box the base layer for our consolidated tech stack going forward.”
“Looking ahead, we’re keen to expand our use of Box and we’re already exploring the value Box’s enterprise-grade AI capabilities could bring to our organization,” said Jake McCoy, Chief Operating Officer at RWS Global. “We believe Box Hubs could serve as a knowledge base to make critical documents like templates and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) accessible to our globally distributed teams. We are very interested in how metadata extraction could help us pull key information and insights that will help us make sense of our vast amounts of content."
RWS Global selected Box Enterprise Plus for the whole suite of Content Cloud features, including to:
- Simplify and consolidate its existing tech stack by migrating hundreds of TB of content with Box Shuttle and Box Consulting, reducing cost, complexity and on-premise servers;
- Create, iterate, edit and securely share and collaborate on files both internally and externally;
- Leverage tasks and repeatable processes through AI-enhanced automated content workflows, such as establishing pre-populating folder structures for enhanced productivity;
- Simplify content curation and surface key insights across the enterprise with Box AI for Box Hubs;
- Integrate with business critical apps including Microsoft Teams, NetSuite and Wrike;
- Secure critical content pre- and post-release with watermarking and auto-classification policies.
“RWS Global delivers phenomenal entertainment experiences to its clients and is known for innovation, launching RWS Global Sports this year to support live experiences at global sporting events,” said Samantha Wessels, SVP, General Manager for EMEA at Box. “We’re delighted to play a central role in simplifying RWS Global’s tech stack and how its distributed teams work together. It’s fantastic to partner and address challenges around content silos and secure collaboration across RWS Global’s different geographies. Going forward we look forward to working closely with RWS Global on its Intelligent Content Management journey.”
