Jan 15 — Iron Mountain released its Digital Record Center for Images. The solution is designed to provide businesses hosted storage and easy access to scanned images, PDFs and other digital files. The Digital Record Center for Images now supplies a repository for accessing those scanned images as well as other digital files, giving customers a more complete solution for managing the lifecycle of their information.
"We've long helped our clients manage their physical records and convert these paper documents to digital files; now, with the Digital Record Center for Images, we're offering them a cost-effective repository for accessing those digital files," said Chris Churchill, vice president of document management solutions at Iron Mountain. "By integrating these three services, we offer customers a comprehensive, single-source solution for using their information and ensuring its security."
Utilizing IBM's Content Manager OnDemand software, the Digital Record Center for Images is designed for companies dealing with large volumes of active documents. These types of documents can include mortgage loans, credit files, personnel records, sales contracts and credit card receipts. By making digital copies of these documents readily available, businesses can better enable employees to use and share information, regardless of its format or location. Digital duplicates also help businesses maintain uninterrupted access to their key records.
"The Digital Record Center for Images gives our company quick access to our most needed documents and a secure failsafe in the event of a disaster or compliance audit," said Jorge Ruano, chief information officer for Taylor, Bean & Whitaker Mortgage Corp., a national mortgage lender. "Plus, Iron Mountain's pay-as-you-go model enables us to fulfill a key business need without the costs and risks of doing it ourselves."
Users can retrieve their stored documents at any time from a Web browser, and depending on their access privileges, can preview document thumbnails, zoom in and out, rotate images, and download, print and forward files via streaming technology. Additional features include security safeguards like firewall and virus protection, encrypted data transmission, user-access control and 24/7 physical monitoring of Iron Mountain's facilities.
