Document Management: Iron Mountain Expands Document Management Offerings
Iron Mountain Incorporated, one of the leader in information protection and storage services, recently 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."
Iron Mountain Document Conversion Services provide: * Intelligent scanning: scan only what you need, when you need it * Extensive expertise in backfile and day-forward scanning * Desktop solutions that integrate with current paper workflow * Seamless interface with Electronic Document Management Systems * Best practices for document security, access, and compliance * Rapid implementation with little or no capital investment * Onsite or offsite availability
"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."
