Case Study: AstraZeneca achieves twice the efficiency at half the cost with Box

AstraZeneca Empowering a global workforce to develop lifesaving cures

AstraZeneca, a global $26‑billion biopharmaceutical company, needed a way for thousands of employees and external partners to collaborate on critical IP and patient data while staying within strict life‑sciences compliance rules. Historically reliant on on‑premises storage and outsourced IT, the company’s challenge was to make content sharing faster and more secure across a dispersed, highly regulated workforce.

AstraZeneca moved to Cloud Content Management with Box as a centralized hub, integrating Salesforce, Office 365, and DocuSign and enforcing DLP and HIPAA controls. The platform now supports 65,600 users across 100+ countries (including 8,000 field reps using iPads), halved content costs while doubling process efficiency, and boosted productivity and sales enablement across the organization.
