Email Article Box.net appointed feature vendor for The American Bar Association
Box ultimately makes sharing simple, but we take pride in the fact that we’re used to solve all sorts of problems for a variety of companies - from facilitating group projects and managing and tracking file activity, to creating virtual deal rooms.
One industry that we’re seeing a lot of interest from is legal. With every case comes a slew of files that need to be sent to clients, colleagues and opposing counsel in a quick and secure manner. We’re excited to share today’s news that we’re a featured vendor in the American Bar Association’s brand new technology marketplace, ABA TechEZ, as a collaboration and document management tool. Created by the ABA Legal Technology Resource Center and ABA Member Benefits, ABA TechEZ will educate firms that don’t have a dedicated IT staff on the software they can benefit from, as well as offer an ABA member discount.
We’re excited to work with the ABA as we strive to provide organizations with technology that affordably adds value to their business. Not only does Box provide a place to centralize all the documents associated with a particular case, but we also offer more security than email, control over file access and updates on who’s doing what. One of our legal customers, Gunderson Dettmer, which specializes in mergers and acquisitions, has this to say about Box: “Compared to putting files on a CD and mailing them overnight, I have parties in Texas and New York that can now download them in less than an hour. Being able to do that so quickly is invaluable.”
If you’re an ABA member, make sure to mention it to your Box.net sales rep to get a discount on Box for your firm.

Learn how Box.net can help your firm to implement a better way to manage your documents.
Contracts, briefs, motions, affadavits, deeds and easements, wills and trusts – if you work in the legal profession, you probably create, share, and analyze thousands upon thousands of pages of documents every year.
It's time to retire the paper-intensive method of storing documents and embrace digital document management for instant productivity gains. As Web-based collaboration platform, Box makes it easy to exchange files with clients and colleagues, completely securely.
Box.net is an approved vendor by The American Bar Association
Available as a Software as a Service (SaaS) solution, Box.net is a full-featured document management and online collaborations system which provides a secure, scalable, easy, and efficient way for your firm to store, search for, and use documents while facilitating paperless workflows. Box.net makes managing them simpler than ever before.
Security is our number one concern
Exchanging files via e-mail can result in serious security and confidentiality issues. Sending a single document as an e-mail attachment can leave a footprint of that document on as many as four computers. With Box, files are encrypted when they’re transmitted, so you know they’re secure.
Creating a secure virtual case room
Create a project folder and upload critical documents related to your case. Box stores the files securely, separate from the rest of your content; only those you give permission to can access the folder. Share contract revisions with clients, case briefs with colleagues, or evidence with opposing counsel – you have complete control. And Box will notify you whenever there’s activity in your folder – whenever anyone uploads a file, accesses content, or adds a comment.
