Iron Mountain Clean Start: Transform & optimise your workplace

Optimise and clean up cluttered and disorganised workplace

Years of normal operations and employee turnover can leave your office cluttered and disorganised, which impacts workplace productivity, collaboration, and space usage.A messy office can deter employees from returning to work.

A recent study from the Economist indicates that 93% of organisations are ready to clean up legacy information assets; however, executing a cleanup project in-house could consume valuable resources and even lead to the risk of data breach.

Our Clean Start experts can help you optimise your workspace and reduce clutter with secure and sustainable workplace solutions for:

• Paper records
• File cabinets
• Outdated IT assets
• Employee workstations
• Other information assets
• Office equipment

Office relocation without the risk of data breaches

Confidential information located in filing cabinets, storage closets, and at employee workstations not only creates risk, but also wastes valuable space.

While some organisations turn to traditional moving or real estate services companies for help, most don’t have the expertise, trained, and vetted employees, or secure chain of custody to handle paper records, IT assets, and other sensitive materials.

Iron Mountain Clean Start provides a complete set of office relocation services that you need for a successful office move or restack, all under a single vendor, following our unique approach to project planning and execution:

• Pack, move, and store records offsite
• Securely shred outdated documents
• Sort, pack, and move employee workstations
• Disposition or remarket obsolete IT assets
• Relocation of office furniture and equipment from site to site
• Store pallets and equipment offsite
• Decommission furniture, fixtures, and equipment
• Transition to a digital workplace

Clean Start can support a successful and secure move or restack project execution while also helping you optimise office space usage in your newly transformed workplace.

Effectively close and optimise your office space

As employee work habits evolve, so does the need for physical office space.

A recent CBRE survey found that 87% of corporate real estate leaders are focused on portfolio optimisation as a top priority; however, closing an office location is never as simple as turning the lights off and locking the doors.

Sensitive information assets located throughout the facility, often commingled with personal employee items and office equipment, can expose your organisation to a data breach if not properly handled and managed.

While traditional moving companies and real estate service companies can support office closure projects, most don’t have the expertise, trained and vetted employees, or secure chain of custody to correctly handle and manage your organisation’s most valuable assets.

Iron Mountain Clean Start offers holistic office closure solutions:

• Pack, move, and store records offsite
• Securely shred outdated documents
• Decommission furniture, fixtures, and equipment
• Disposition or remarket obsolete IT assets
• Move furniture and equipment from site to site
• Sort, pack, and move employee workstations
• Store pallets and equipment offsite
• Move and/or store artwork

Best of all, Iron Mountain can provide all these services and more under a single vendor with our unique approach to planning and executing your office closure.
