There are five major updates to Box for enterprise customers. Box has made it easier for administrators to manage and search content across all users, added new , enabled the ability to manage multiple domains simultaneously, and included archiving of comments and activity for regulatory compliance purposes.

Up to now, Box account administrators have been forced to access and manage content on a user by user basis, and there hasn't been an effective means of searching for data across the entire Box environment. With the new features admins will now be able to streamline file management tasks. The ability to search all Box content also makes tedious tasks like e-discovery much more efficient.

The new security controls for mobile devices enable Box admins to enforce the use of passcodes on Android devices (and coming soon for the iOS apps). Admins can also manage of content stored in Box from the mobile devices.

The ability to manage multiple domains is a welcome addition for larger companies. Smaller Box customers with only a single domain wouldn't notice, but larger customers like Proctor and Gamble have a vast array of subsidiaries and sub-domains. Each of those was previously managed as a separate Box account, but the new feature enables the Box admin to view and manage all of the domains at once.

In addition to the new and improved features in Box itself, Box also announced new enterprise licensing policies that simplifies the procurement and management of Box account licensing. Customers can lock in the licensing price even for a multi-year deployment, and Box will even work with customers to defer payment to when the licenses are actually implemented.
