We have entered a major information supercycle – a transformative era where growth depends on the ability to deploy AI across every enterprise workflow.
Moving past isolated pilots requires solving for structural friction, not just model maturity. Decades of dark data, fragmented governance, and aging IT infrastructure have become the primary barriers preventing organizations from scaling their AI ambitions.
Iron Mountain helps you tackle decades of ungoverned information, recover trapped capital from legacy hardware, digitize physical media before it's lost forever, and stand up the infrastructure AI requires. By bridging your physical and digital worlds, we create the trusted information foundation your teams and AI agents need to scale AI securely and with confidence.

Join Us for Our Exclusive Speaking Session: Breaking the AI Bottleneck: Iron Mountain's Blueprint for an AI-Ready Enterprise
Tuesday, October 20 | 1:45 - 2:15 PM GMT-4 10:45 - 11:15 AM PDT | Swan Ballroom 4, WDW Swan Hotel
AI experimentation is over — 2026 is about scale. Yet most enterprises aren't blocked by model maturity; they're blocked by what's underneath: siloed legacy data, fragmented governance, and IT estates never built for AI. Iron Mountain's research shows 86% of organizations have experienced AI project delays due to data issues, and over half of enterprise data remains dark or redundant — quietly draining the budget that should be funding innovation.
This session unpacks why "AI readiness" is often an illusion, and how leading enterprises are mining their own data and IT estates — not new budget — to fund AI at scale. Attendees will leave with a practical framework for turning legacy data debt, dormant IT assets, and infrastructure gaps into the foundation their AI strategy actually needs.
Mark your calendars and join us at the Gartner IT Symposium/Expo in October!
