Iron Mountain helps Wisconsin City uncover data across 13 departments
A big city in Wisconsin was drowning in data across thirteen city departments, including Administration, Public Works and Human Resources. They approached Iron Mountain for assistance with digitizing over six million records across the departments. Iron Mountain InSight® solution provided the capability to digitize contracts, facility drawings, human resources, property and financial records, while also indexing each record according to the requirements of each department. As a result of the project, the city has reduced the fulfillment time for record requests with increased quality, improved reporting capabilities. The City realized significant cost reduction while increasing visibility to valuable information. The city strives to further expand the platform to include AI/ML capabilities, workflow automation and expansion to all 600 employees.
