NTSB is an independent U.S. government investigative agency responsible for civil transportation accident investigation. The NTSB is also in charge of investigating cases of hazardous materials releases that occur during transportation.
To fulfill its mission, NTSB leadership is re-thinking how the organization and its systems and data are designed for a digital-first agency. By using Box, NTSB can:
- Move from cumbersome legacy Enterprise Content Management (ECM) tools to a cloud-based technology platform that can scale and support its reporting on NTSB.gov for citizens looking to find and access reports related to investigations;
- Easily and seamlessly allow investigators to upload and manage documents, and audio and video files to a library of reports;
- Build and maintain data security around the critical information within the portal;
- Leverage Box Hubs and Box AI to help organize information and enable advanced searching capabilities within the portal.
“NTSB is leading the way on how government agencies are leveraging modern technology to better engage with citizens, cut costs and improve mission outcomes,” said Wyn Elder, Global Managing Director for Public Sector at Box. “NTSB’s incredibly important mission, powered by its cloud strategy in partnership with companies like Box, is poised to help the agency bring agility to mission delivery, while ensuring the privacy and security of sensitive data. We look forward to continuing to work closely with NTSB on its intelligent content management journey.”
Box is ‘In Process’ for FedRAMP High Authorization
Box has officially received its “In Process” designation from the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP®) Program Management Office (PMO).
