What is a Digital Mailroom?

A digital mailroom is a system that automates the processing of physical mail and email. Physical mails are scanned and made available electronically, then undergo a similar process as emails, where they are sorted and auto-routed to the intended recipient(s), then stored in a secure repository that can be accessed remotely by authorised personnels. Digital mailroom solutions include features such as audit trails for tracking mail movement, secure access to digital mail, and the ability to automate document-centric processes.

By outsourcing to digital mailroom services, organisations can centralise their mailroom management processes, cut the time and manpower required for mail processing, and free up physical space for higher-value activities. Being able to access documents remotely and track mail in real-time also improves accountability and visibility, helping organisations provide timely and efficient mail delivery to recipients and stay compliant with data protection regulations.

Iron Mountain Digital Mailroom is a comprehensive mailroom management solution that supports organisations from document scanning and automated mail classification and routing, to secure digital and physical storage and/or destruction.

How does a Digital Mailroom work?

Iron Mountain Digital Mailroom solution is as easy to set up as it is to use.

1. After you instruct the postal service to redirect your mail, Iron Mountain will pick up the mail and transport it to our secure scanning facilities. Your physical mail never leaves Iron Mountain’s chain of custody.
2. Iron Mountain experts scan and automatically capture keywords for your mail so the digitised copies can be auto-routed to the intended recipient. You have the option to request additional keywords relevant to your organisation to be captured.
3. You control who the final recipient is through exception processing.
4. Your electronic information will be encrypted at rest and during transmission across a secure network.
5. You can search and access digitised mail in our secure information management and content services platform, Iron Mountain InSight®.
6. Role-based permissions that you own and manage ensure only authorised users can view and share mail.
7. Iron Mountain can help you with disposing of your physical mail by storing, securely shredding, or returning it to you
