Cloud content management software company Box Inc. has made Box Hubs available. The feature enables customers on its enterprise plans to create intelligent portals, making it easier to organise, curate and publish content. Box Hubs is closely tied to the company's Box AI, which makes workers more productive.
Box Hubs allows workers to create a new Box Hub without IT administrators, simply by selecting all the files they want in it. The Hub is customisable with a header, images and icons, and descriptions about its contents. New content can be added at any time without having to change folder locations.
Customers on the Box Enterprise plan will be able to use the newly available Box Hubs, which can provide unlimited end-user queries, with the integration of Box AI. Users ask questions relevant to a Hub's content, getting answers, summaries or status updates within the platform.
Other features include the ability to search for Hubs and files, send a link to a particular Hub and share externally with secure access. The feature also meets certain US federal standards.
Box Hubs can be used by human resources teams, sales teams, brand and marketing teams and others for content including company handbooks, quarterly planning processes and product roadmaps.
A professional services firm created a Hub for industry-specific customer stories, while a hospitality business created a Hub for centralising legal documents, and a marketing agency created a Hub for creative resources.
Box Hubs' integration with Box AI has the potential to save valuable time for employees, as users can curate critical and relevant content more easily with AI-powered search and summarisation. This makes content more accessible, increasing its value to organisations.
Box Hubs was first announced at the company’s Boxworks event in October 2023, and it has now been made widely available after initially launching in beta test access.
