Case Study: Lilly achieves faster time-to-market and secure compliance with Box

Lilly Bringing new therapies to market faster

Eli Lilly, a global pharmaceutical company founded in 1876, is committed to developing high‑quality prescription medicines and modernizing patient care. Facing digital disruption, Lilly needed to support a secure digital workplace while cutting costs, protecting patient privacy, and maintaining strict regulatory compliance—especially important given R&D consumes nearly 20% of revenues.

Lilly adopted Box as a consolidated cloud content layer, enabling sales reps to use iPads to access up‑to‑date product information and allowing internal and external stakeholders to collaborate securely from any device. The result: higher sales productivity, lower IT support costs, reduced risk of compliance or patient‑data exposure, and greater organizational agility to respond to competition and accelerate research through AI and more efficient workflows.
