Iron Mountain has been helping companies both large and small to manage their information for 60 years. Offering a range of services such as records management, off-site data protection, secure shredding and image and hosting services, Iron Mountain has helped companies to reduce the costs and burden associated with the management, storage and protection of information.

A European study published in 2011 showed that despite the drive for a ‘paperless’ office many companies are still struggling with managing their paper documents.  Too few business owners prioritise this important process highly enough.  A survey conducted by Iron Mountain revealed that 45 percent of European businesses had problems managing their information, 59 percent felt that their paper documents took up too much space and 49 per cent had no central responsibility for document management.

Iron Mountain has a proven track record in document management, winning the Document Manager (DM) award for Company of the Year in October 2011.  Iron Mountain is able to offer services that cover the full lifecycle of documents, from creation to destruction, with built in security that safeguards their customers’ data.

Iron Mountain owns the largest scanning centre in Europe capable of processing up to 250 million documents each year.  The scanning service allows customers to store, access and manage their electronic and paper documents and also cuts costs.  Customers can choose bulk scanning or on-demand scanning but, whichever service they choose, customers have increased visibility and control.   Iron Mountain also offers archiving for maximum accessibility and security.

Once a document is no longer required a company needs to know that it has been securely destroyed.  Here Iron Mountain has a top-class service to offer.  Its secure shredding service has won recognition from the industry and customers have complete peace of mind as they can track their confidential information from the time it is marked for destruction to when it is actually destroyed.
