Protecting images ... and competitive advantage

A company that helps organizations protect and store information has chosen software from IBM to power its Digital Record Center for Images. Iron Mountain's Digital Record Center provides hosted storage and quick access to scanned images, PDFs and other digital files.

Iron Mountain is using IBM's Content Manager OnDemand, Web Interface for Content Management (IBM WEBi), DB2 data server and WebSphere Application Server.

Chris Churchill, VP of document management solutions at Iron Mountain, says, "The Digital Record Center for Images marries leading information management software from IBM with our storage-as-a-service expertise. The result is a secure, scalable repository for a company's most accessed records and a pay-as-you-go service that frees companies from the costs and risks of maintaining their own in-house solution. Combined with our physical document management and imaging capabilities, we can offer customers a true life cycle solution: We can manage the physical document, convert it and then put it into our hosted archive to provide electronic access."

Ken Bisconti, VP, product and strategy, for IBM Enterprise Content Management, says, "The combination of IBM's information and content management software is helping Iron Mountain establish its Digital Record Center for Images and forge the transformation of processes and business models to create competitive advantage."
