How do I get documents from paper to digital?
Some small businesses need daily access to 100% of the physical documents stored onsite. But do you? If you’re looking to incorporate document scanning and digital storage solutions into your information management process, we can help.
With Iron Mountain’s document scanning services, you can move more of your physical documents and files offsite while sharing important (digitised) information quickly throughout your business. It’s also easy to request digital scans of documents that you need to access or use frequently through the Iron Mountain Connect™ secure online portal.

Frequently asked questions
When it comes to information lifecycle management for your small business, we know that you probably have some questions. We have the answers.
What happens to our physical documents that are digitised by Iron Mountain?
You are able to select from several disposition options for your physical documents:
- Your physical documents can be returned to you
- Your physical documents can be stored in an Iron Mountain record center
- Your physical documents can be securely shredded
When disposing of IT assets, how far do I have to go?
Whichever term you use—decommission, retire, or deactivate—eventually IT hardware reaches the end of its intended lifespan. At that point, secure ITAD becomes the last step in your own IT asset management (ITAM) lifecycle. Here are some key questions to consider when vetting an outside provider for the task of IT asset disposal.
What are the benefits of offsite storage for my small business?
- Free up office space. Without piles of boxes and overflowing filing cabinets, your team can use your costly office space for more productive business tasks.
- Access a locally powered team. We help establish a fast, convenient, and personalised file management process between you as a small business owner and a dedicated Iron Mountain account manager.
- Reduce costs. Offsite document services reduce costs of document storage and labor and administration—helping you lower costs for office space, records retrieval, and transportation.
What if I need my records back?
When you need some (or all) of your records back, retrieval requests can be made through our easy-to-use online account management tool, Iron Mountain Connect™. Standard and rush retrieval services are available for your documents, and we can even scan your records to digitise them for immediate, secure remote access. Simply request the digital file copies you want, and they’ll be sent to you within 24 hours.
Why is outsourcing my digitisation a smart choice for me and my small business?
When small businesses try to digitise their workflows and data in-house, it’s a massive capital investment that not only places a significant strain on staff, but also results in inefficiencies and errors when staff work outside their areas of expertise. Instead, why not reap these benefits of digitisation outsourcing?
