Digitised mail and routing
Digital mailrooms work through intelligent document processing (IDP).
Automated mail processing, metadata extraction, and workflows
Intelligent mailrooms offer all the benefits of a digital mailroom through a content services platform (CSP).
We know that leaders like you try to remove—or at least reduce—paper-based information from business processes. But it’s impossible to remove paper from your workplace when paper-based mail keeps coming and continues to be a core part of your operational processes.
Access to paper-based mail is an even bigger challenge when you have a distributed workforce that needs secure timely access to their mail regardless of their location.
Iron Mountain Digital Mail solution is a software as a service (SaaS) offering that enables you to enhance operational efficiency by digitising physical mail to provide secure access and retrieval for your employees, automating document-centric processes, and connecting your data across platforms.
Traditional mailrooms rely on manual systems and processes that are labor intensive and prone to human error. As organisations consider downsizing and/or optimising real estate space, they need to streamline operations and connect data across business silos. Iron Mountain can help.
