Iron Mountain Delivers Document Conversion Services to Help Companies Bridge to Electronic Document Management Environment
BOSTON, April 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Iron Mountain Incorporated
(NYSE: IRM), the global leader in information protection and storage services,
today introduced its Document Conversion Services, an integrated, intelligent
scanning solution for business records. The service is part of Iron Mountain's
Document Management Solutions, a portfolio of services that provide an
integrated, comprehensive solution for managing the complete information
lifecycle, regardless of location and format.
In most industries, fast, reliable access to active business documents is
critical to delivering quality service. Yet for many organizations, document
management is highly fragmented, inefficient, and costly - involving a mix of
paper and electronic records; active and rarely accessed documents; onsite and
offsite storage; and multiple vendors. An electronic document management
program can help solve these challenges, but converting all paper-based
records to electronic documents can be time consuming and costly. Iron
Mountain's Document Conversion Services enable businesses to achieve the
business benefits of timely access to information without the high costs,
through an intelligent, efficient approach to digitizing documents.
In addition to Document Conversion Services, Iron Mountain's Document
Management Solutions include off-site or on-site active file management,
document workflow consulting, and hosted archiving solutions. These solutions
help businesses create a comprehensive, fully integrated document management
program that provides complete visibility and quick access to all their
business records, regardless of format or location.
"Companies are overwhelmed today with how to best manage their important
records and meet the demands of regulatory mandates, all while keeping costs
down and improving business productivity," said Chris Churchill, vice
president, Document Management Solutions, Iron Mountain. "Iron Mountain's
Document Management Solutions, including our newest Document Conversion
Services, provides a one-stop, single solution for both physical and
electronic records, ensuring ready access to important records, as well as
consistency and compliance from a single provider."

"As companies transition to electronic document management, they should
consider partnering with technology providers who offer solutions that can
seamlessly integrate the management of a company's physical and digital
documents," said Kenneth Chin, Research, Research Vice President, Gartner.
"The additional capability of providers to offer digital conversion of these
documents will deliver the benefits of improved chain of custody, greater
consistency and compliance while doing it in a cost-effective manner."
