Iron Mountain Extends Document Management

March 30, 2009: Iron Mountain has introduced a new tailored document management solution aimed at Human Resource (HR) departments, saying that it can provide a vertical Document Management Solution that covers the entire document lifecycle from acquisition to destruction.

The company says that its solution suits small and medium sized enterprises as well as large enterprises, and covers the entire lifecycle of active files.

It claims it combines physical storage, imaging and digital storage of documents, presenting a comprehensive, integrated solutions to enable organisations to better manage their disaster recovery and business continuity plans without any additional investment.

Iron Mountain says that human resource documents contain some of an organisation’s most sensitive information, making storage and access both important and challenging, and when HR tasks are managed by multiple offices or when the HR manager covers several geographical areas—both nationwide and internationally— timely access to widely dispersed information is difficult.

It says that with its Digital Record Center hosting platform, multiple users can simultaneously retrieve their stored documents at any time from a Web browser, and depending on their access privileges, can preview document thumbnails, zoom in and out, rotate images, and download, print and forward files via highly efficient streaming technology.

Furthermore, it says its solution empowers HR departments with access anytime, anywhere to employee records. Off-site storage of HR documents also drives down real-estate costs and enables a rigorous chain of custody with documents stored securely.
