Support remote, hybrid workforces
Although 61.9% of companies are planning more remote work now and in the years to come, hybrid and remote workforces struggle to access documents quickly and securely.1
Document scanning and digital storage
Digitally transform your business and centralise your information
Scanning
Gain secure, collaborative access to your information
When you live in a hybrid world of paper and electronic information without a unified view of your information, you and your employees spend precious time searching for what you need. When you do find the information you need, if it’s in paper format, you still can’t easily access or quickly share with others, especially with your remote workforce.
Through a combination of Iron Mountain’s document scanning expertise, infrastructure, and a modern, secure cloud storage repository, we help you find what you need when you need it most.
We can help you prioritise and achieve your goals through a series of backfile conversion and day-forward scanning programmes. You can even have your inbound physical mail redirected to our secure facilities, and our team of experts will receive, open, and scan your mail.
Your scanning will be done by the provider that you already trust with your paper documents, and can help you manage the entire information lifecycle for both physical and digital information. You’ll be able to centrally access your information, free up valuable workspace, and make handling and using your information much easier.
Digitisation concerns
If you want leadership to invest in digitisation, you have to provide measurable proof of the value of your efforts. Scroll over each card and learn what to ask to calculate your organisation’s return on (digital) investment.

It's time to go digital
Our experts will help you establish a fast, efficient process for the strategic conversion or your paper records and documents to a digital format. This increases access and reduces storage costs. Backfile Conversion can help you:
- Extract valuable data and insights from your legacy records and documents to make better business decisions
- Have electronic access to your vital records without subjecting the original to wear and tear or loss
- Centralise your information in an electronic repository of your own or our Digital Record Centre, where it can be easily and securely shared.
- Converting all of your legacy paper records to digital files doesn’t make financial sense and can be a daunting task. Instead of doing all your scanning at once, we can help you prioritise and achieve your goals by segmenting it into a series of backfile conversion projects or by establishing Day Forward Scanning and Image on Demand programs.
Increase efficiency with document digitisation
Our team will work with you to create a document imaging solution designed to achieve your short-and long-term objectives. Based on your needs and expectations our experts will recommend ways to increase efficiency by managing your information digitally.
Digitising physical documents with our document imaging services will optimise your business applications and better leverage your technology investments. Fast, secure access positions you to meet compliance objectives and other business obligations.
Image On Demand With Cloud Storage
Use Iron Mountain RS-Web, our web-based customer hub, to select the document you would like to have imaged from among the physical records and documents that you have stored with us.
Our team then carefully retrieves, prepares, and scans the document. After scanning, we return the document to its original storage location. We provide you with secure, easy access to the digital document. This pay-as-you go service minimises costs by allowing you to image only the paper files that you need.
