Case Study: News Corp achieves enterprise-wide collaboration and faster multimedia workflows with Dropbox

News Corp chooses Dropbox for enterprise-wide collaboration

News Corp, the global media company behind brands like The Wall Street Journal and HarperCollins, needed a way for its 25,000+ employees to collaborate quickly and securely across newsrooms and business units. Reporters, editors, photographers and external contributors required an agile, scalable tool that handled large multimedia files and supported remote workflows as part of a broader digital transformation.

After a 2014 pilot, News Corp rolled out Dropbox Business enterprise-wide because it met security and admin requirements, was easy to use, and employees already favored it. The cloud platform sped up large file uploads, smoothed multimedia editing and publishing, and increased overall productivity; its API also offers the potential to integrate Dropbox as a central “glue” between systems like Workday and Salesforce.
