Smartsheet Announces Integration with Box

Bellevue, Wash., February 1, 2012 -- Whether you manage client projects, team task lists, operational processes, deal rooms or other types of work, it just became easier to collaborate and share information with others.

Smartsheet.com, a leading online project management tool provider today announced a new product integration with Box’s popular cloud collaboration and file storage service. With the two leading cloud apps tightly integrated, teams at organizations of all sizes can easily share and collaborate on files related to specific projects with both internal staff and external collaborators, such as vendors, clients, and contractors.

“Accessing files in the context of the work you’re managing saves time and is at the heart of  organizational productivity,” said Mark Mader, CEO of Smartsheet. “Businesses have well-defined expectations that cloud-based tools are easy to use, secure and work how they do. Our partnership with Box brings together two of the most powerful collaboration solutions, provides the users with a cohesive experience, and delivers on that promise.”

From within Smartsheet’s web-based project management tool, users can now find a relevant document or entire folders of documents from Box and link it directly to projects or rows in Smartsheet.  All changes made to the document in Box are instantly available in Smartsheet, without the need to upload new versions. With a single mouse click, Smartsheet users can then share those files further using Smartsheet’s project sharing and row sending capabilities. With adoption in 82 percent of the Fortune 500, Box is one of the fastest-growing enterprise applications.

“Box has built a powerful, open platform that enables excellent services like Smartsheet to extend its value and functionality to organizations worldwide," said Chris Yeh, VP of Platform at Box. "There's a smarter, more efficient way to work in the enterprise and our integration with Smartsheet really makes sense for our customers."

Anil Patel CEO of worldwide nonprofit Timeraiser has used Box and Smartsheet independently for years. "We’ve reviewed over 200 cloud-based software applications, especially in the categories of file sharing & project management. There hasn't been a feature set we have been anticipating more than the integration between Smartsheet and Box. The simplicity of Smartsheet’s project management and the powerful file sharing capabilities of Box will make our productivity soar across a number of business applications such as financial management, marketing, human resources and governance. Simply put: Game-changer."
