Optimise your workplace to adapt to a changing world

Do you know how your organisation can thrive in a world where the way we work is constantly evolving? Whether managing a newly remote workforce, scaling facilities due to M&A activity, or consolidating office space, companies are rethinking their physical locations and adopting hybrid working models. But how do you stay ahead in such a dynamic environment?

At Iron Mountain, we understand the challenges of today's evolving workplace. We help organisations navigate these changes, ensuring they remain efficient and cost-effective.

Common challenges faced in today's changing world:

Moving, renovating or downsizing your workspace

Iron Mountain assesses your current space, manages the clean-out process, and offers practical advice on how to best manage your information and assets moving forward and optimise your real estate footprint to save costs.
Cleaning up your legacy records

Commingled files, disorganised records, and boxes with incomplete information aren’t just a nuisance. They’re a liability that can inflate storage costs, increase litigation risks and even raise the cost of worker's compensation claims. Our solutions allow you to make sense of what’s stored in your record boxes and make quick and defensible disposition decisions.
Navigating challenging ESG requirements

Leaders are under pressure to meet ESG KPIs across the organisation. Whether by streamlining, managing, and restructuring the lifecycle of IT assets, or by digitising processes to reduce emissions from paper-based or manual tasks, we can help businesses achieve their ESG targets.

Phase 1 - Discover

Workplace transformation assessment

Before any changes can be made, it's vital to assess your current workspace, taking stock of what digital and physical assets you have, what needs to be digitised, stored at an offsite facility, and what can safely and securely be disposed of. There are always obstacles to a workplace transformation. To overcome these hurdles it's vital to understand all the variables involved.

Industry fact:

71% of companies could reduce their storage costs by 30% if they knew what they could digitise or defensibly destroy.
