Government agencies face a major hurdle: 90% of their documents live in unstructured formats (PDFs, images, videos) scattered across disconnected silos, making them inaccessible to secure AI.
To solve this, Box and Salesforce have partnered to deliver FedRAMP High and DoD IL4-authorized AI workflows directly within Salesforce.
Key Highlights:
-
Automated Workspaces & Secure Intake: Box automatically provisions compliant workspaces and allows external parties to submit evidence securely via file request links.
-
AI-Driven Classification & Extraction: Automatically detects PII and uses agentic reasoning to extract structured metadata from witness statements directly into Salesforce fields.
-
Agentforce + Box AI: Investigators can run multi-document queries across entire case folders to surface discrepancies in minutes instead of hours.
-
Seamless Document Generation & E-Signatures: Generate formal incident reports with Box Doc Gen and capture legally binding signatures with full chain of custody using Box Sign.
By consolidating file transfer, e-signatures, storage, and generative AI into a single platform, Box helps public sector agencies condense hours of manual work into minutes while maintaining strict compliance.
