Challenge

Strictly regulated, CNL relies on fast access to archived information, a lengthy process compounded by growing records and inconsistent manual work practices. This made it hard to maintain inventories, retention schedules and audit trails.

Solution

Iron Mountain® helped develop a holistic digital strategy and end-to-end solution for centralising and digitising legacy records in multiple formats. It ensures secure full chain of custody covering collection, transportation, imaging, and shredding.

Results

CNL was able to ramp up scanning and support home workers during the pandemic. Now, with substantial productivity gains, vital information flows faster throughout the organisation. Plans include a new CNL facility with Good Laboratory Practice compliance.
