Iron Mountain Recognized as Industry Leader in Technology Innovation for Fourth Consecutive Year
BOSTON and MANHASSET, N.Y. - September 12, 2006 - For the fourth consecutive year, Iron Mountain Incorporated (NYSE: IRM) has been named to the InformationWeek
500, a prestigious listing of the most innovative users of information
technology in the United States. The global leader in information
protection and storage services was among the top companies recognized
by InformationWeek at its gala awards ceremony held during this week's InformationWeek 500 Conference in Rancho Mirage, CA.
For the past 18 years, InformationWeek has identified and
honored the nation's most innovative users of information technology
with its annual listing. The list is unique among corporate rankings
because it spotlights the power of innovation in information
technology, rather than simply identifying the biggest IT spenders.
"We're very proud that Iron Mountain's innovative use of technology has been recognized by InformationWeek
for the fourth consecutive year," said Kevin Roden, chief information
officer for Iron Mountain. "Iron Mountain is a very diverse company,
providing a wide array of records management and data protection
services. In order to deliver innovative solutions to our customers, we
need to implement innovative solutions in our IT infrastructure as well
as in our products and services. The innovative use of technology is
critical to our value proposition."
"The InformationWeek 500 honors today's leading companies who set the benchmark for business technology strategies and projects," said InformationWeek publishing director, Fritz Nelson. "The companies on our list are some of the most innovative users of technology."
