Why isn't using Iron Mountain for professional staffing a conflict of interest if we also use them for records storage and shred services?

Using Iron Mountain for both professional staffing and services like records storage, document scanning, and document destruction is intended to provide a strategic advantage rather than create a conflict of interest. Here’s why:

  • Trusted enterprise-wide partner: Iron Mountain positions itself as a trusted partner for information management across your organization. If your company is already utilizing Iron Mountain services, our professional staff will not need extra training on our specific policies and procedures related to those services.
  • Integrated expertise: Iron Mountain’s professional staff are aligned with best practices in the services you are using, ensuring consistent and compliant management of your information lifecycle.
  • Single supplier efficiency: Iron Mountain offers a “Single Supplier Efficiency” model that provides everything necessary for a comprehensive Records and Information Management (RIM) and Information Governance (IG) solution: services, supplies, and staffing. This consolidation means you work with one vendor, adhere to a single set of governing agreements, and receive one bill. This simplification makes administration easier, facilitates cost distribution, and enables your organization to focus on its core business.
  • Superior support and integration: By having Iron Mountain’s staff manage or enhance your RIM program, you gain a new level of support and integration for the services you are already using, such as records storage, document scanning, and document destruction. This integrated approach delivers expertise and robust reporting capabilities that foster data-driven decision-making, providing advanced operational insights and helping to reduce administrative burdens.
