Overview
Value—easy to describe with broad generalities but terribly difficult to quantify with hard measurements. And that is the task that Box Value Engineering (BVE) has taken on. Our team seeks to help its customers and prospects understand, measure, and ultimately optimize their Box investment.
Much like Box is redefining how people work together, Box Value Engineering seeks to transform how value is measured. We do not rely on conventional approaches from traditional vendors. We pursue a new, agile, disciplined path to support a cloud-first world. In its first year of operation, BVE established the foundations that have been enthusiastically embraced by our stakeholders. This year, we intend to 10X things.
It’s an irreverent team. It’s a demanding environment. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity to stretch and learn and shape your growth.
