Cooke & Bieler honored as a leader in the financial services industry for 'Creative and Cutting-Edge Implementations of Enterprise Technology'
BOSTON, Nov. 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Iron Mountain Incorporated
(NYSE: IRM), the global leader in information protection and storage services,
today announced that its customer Cooke & Bieler has been named to the
InfoWorld 100 for its creative and cutting-edge implementation of business
continuity and data protection technology: Iron Mountain's LiveVault(R) server
backup and recovery solution.
The annual InfoWorld 100 awards honor IT projects that demonstrate the
most creative use of cutting-edge technologies to further their business
goals. To be considered, projects must stretch beyond the typical,
off-the-shelf solution, and must use multiple technologies in innovative ways
to serve well-defined business goals.
"It's been said that fortune favors the bold. The inspiration for this
year's finalists to tackle such sweeping changes varies widely -- from
reducing delivery time of products and services to replacing cumbersome legacy
systems," said Richard Gincel, InfoWorld Senior Editor. "But regardless of the
motivation, high ambition unites them all."
Cooke & Bieler, which for more than 50 years has delivered on its promise
of "high quality, low risk" investing and organizational excellence, was
specifically recognized for addressing the challenges of mounting social and
regulatory pressures through their successful implementation of Iron
Mountain's LiveVault solution. LiveVault automatically and continuously backs
up business server data via a secure Internet connection, storing the data
offsite in a secure, remote location, where it is available for rapid recovery
in the event of a system failure, virus, human error or other disaster.
LiveVault saved Cooke & Bieler bandwidth, made backup activity transparent to
users, and gave the IT team quick retrieval access to data.
"Through our strategic partnership with Iron Mountain, we've been able to
successfully execute on our vision for business continuity," said Asha Joshi,
Information Technology Manager at Cooke & Bieler. "We can confidently say our
backup services are equipped to get the company up and running again quickly
in the event of a breach, and as such, Iron Mountain has established itself as
our corporate standard."
"We are thrilled that Cooke & Bieler has won this distinguished award,"
said John Clancy, executive vice president of Iron Mountain Digital, the
technology arm of Iron Mountain. "Iron Mountain is committed to helping
customers reduce the costs and risks associated with information protection
and storage through our digital data protection solutions. Cooke & Bieler has
demonstrated that they are a leader in implementing data protection and
business continuity best practices and we are honored to have helped them
reach their goals."
