There's more to the wine business than just growing grapes. The Wine Institute, an industry trade association of over 1,000 California wineries and supporting businesses, has found Box.net a perfect fit as a project management solution. Their work with impacting policies and perceptions in government and media across the country and around the world requires keeping all its members in the loop on lengthy documents and multimedia files. Box.net provided a solution for both professional staffers and volunteer committee members.

"We considered project management solutions, but they were overly complicated and expensive", said Chris Mears, IT Manager for Wine Institute. "What we really needed was a simple way to manage and exchange documents, so Box.net is a great solution for us."

Now, Wine Institute committees can easily collaborate between meetings, the employees and members can transfer large files, and it's easy for journalists to download photos of various wine industry-related activities.

An architect sits in the middle of many complex building transactions, from clients approving designs and sharing them internally to engineers designing based on current drawings and contractors bidding on projects. Jake Schopp, owner of Icon Architecture in Kansas City, Missouri, found that Box.net provided an easy solution to the complex problem of distributing work. He was tired of trying to keep track of who had gotten which version of the many drawings his firm produces, and Box.net helped him out through its Sub Users features.

Now Icon Architecture personnel simply upload drawings to a private, secure folder on Box.net, and then send a link in email to the various people involved in building the multi-unit commercial developments they design.

"It really cut down on the email threads we had going," said Schopp. "This allows everyone involved to gain access to various files while Box.net keeps track of who is accessing the files."

MediaWise Creative Services of Tallahassee, Florida, uses Box.net as an easy way to get around the technical difficulties that prevent them from sharing their multimedia creations with clients. Creativity is all about pushing the limits. But all too often, creative professionals find themselves limited in their client communication by restrictions on email attachments.

"We have our own servers, but with box.net we eliminate the potential of any breaches in security",— explains Trish Pierce, an owner with MediaWise. "Plus, Box is so easy to use, I feel very comfortable telling my clients how to get to their files."

Trish creates a folder within her Box.net account for each client. Then, with just one click, she creates a URL for the specific file, or even for the entire folder. She emails this to her client, and they simply click on the link to download their new brochure, promotional video, or logo.

"Some clients can't accept attachments, but with the Box.net service, we completely avoid problems", said Trish.
