An American energy organisation was looking to clean up and repurpose office space at a refinery to increase productivity, streamline operations, and reduce costs.

The company originally intended to execute the project itself, but realising that it did not have the in-house resources or expertise to complete the project, it turned to Iron Mountain Clean Start for help.

Clean Start walkthrough and assessment performed and identified:

• 4M+ documents of various asset types – large format drawings, technical manuals, HR records, invoices, etc.
