Box, Inc., a leader in cloud content management, announced that the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has selected Box as part of its digital transformation strategy and issued an Authority to Operate. The VA will leverage Box’s cloud content management platform to modernize its technical infrastructure and drive new ways to work in the cloud.
The VA’s mission is to provide Veterans the world-class benefits and services they have earned – and to do so by adhering to the highest standards of compassion, commitment, excellence, professionalism, integrity, accountability, and stewardship.

To fulfill its mission, VA leadership is re-thinking how the organization and its systems, APIs and data are designed for a digital-first agency. The VA selected Box to enable its staff, doctors and Veterans to securely share and manage critical healthcare processes and content, including:
- Health research data sets
- Grant proposals and submissions
- COVID-19 research data sets with academic institutions
- Educational materials for both staff and Veterans
Leveraging the Box platform’s capabilities, VA researchers will share COVID-19 data sets with VA administration officials to determine which medical facilities to open, and at what levels. Construction project managers will use Box to share AutoCAD building design files and project documents with their contracted construction teams. Medical personnel will be able to digitally collect treatment plans from Veterans that have received care in the community to greatly reduce their cost of care while in the VA.

“The VA is leading the way on how government agencies are leveraging modern technology to better engage with stakeholders and improve mission outcomes,” said Sonny Hashmi, Managing Director of Global Public Sector at Box. “The VA’s incredibly important mission, powered by its cloud and modernization strategy, and in partnership with companies like Box, is poised to help the agency re-imagine Veteran engagement, and bring agility to mission delivery, while ensuring the privacy and security of sensitive data. We are thrilled to support the VA mission.”
Agencies and departments across the US Federal Government responsible for healthcare, defense, educational, judicial, legislative and regulatory oversight are using Box to be more efficient, streamlined and agile. Box is FedRAMP compliant and received Department of Defense SRG Impact Level 4 Authorization by the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA). Box also announced last week that it will add FedRamp High certification for federal customers. With today’s announcement, the VA joins leading global organizations that have moved to Box to power new ways of working, including the USDA Farm Production and Conservation and Forest Service, Food and Drug Administration, Department of Justice, and the District of Columbia Government.
