MacroView has developed software add-ins that provide an excellent user experience for saving, searching for and viewing Outlook emails and attachments in Microsoft SharePoint (Online or on-premises). See this YouTube playlist. Now we are looking to provide the same great experience for users wanting to manage their Outlook emails and attachments in BOX.com.
BOX.com is rapidly emerging as an Enterprise-grade Electronic Content Management (ECM) platform. With BOX all content is stored in the cloud, which facilitates access from anywhere, from any device. During 2017 BOX has added 15,000 new customers and their business revenues have also grown substantially. Their customers come from large and heavily regulated enterprises in Financial Services, Healthcare and Government. Among the new customers added in 2017 are Volkswagen Group of America, Discovery Communications, Spotify, Hertz, HULU, Southwest Airlines, and the U.S. Department of the Treasury, GE, P&G, The GAP and AstraZeneca.
