The world has changed, and the way we work has too. Today’s new normal means rethinking office space to ensure employee well-being, reduce costs, and support a productive workforce.
Iron Mountain Clean Start® can help you navigate today’s changing workplace requirements, from dedensifying and reconfiguring the office for social distancing to office closures or moving to a more digital way of working.
Our skilled team will conduct an assessment of your workplace and provide recommendations on how you can maximise real estate by clearing out materials occupying valuable space, including paper records, filing cabinets, servers, PCs and IT assets, office equipment, cabinets, furniture, artwork and more.
We’ll manage the clean-out process and facilitate the secure destruction or donation of the items you don’t need and the temporary or permanent storage of the ones you do.
The COVID-19 crisis has accelerated digital transformation to support virtual workforces. After assessing how your organisation creates, stores, and uses information, we’ll recommend tools such as active file management, document scanning, and workflow automation to improve efficiency and support remote employees with anytime, anywhere access to information.

In addition to negatively impacting productivity, collaboration, and space usage, employees may not be motivated to return to and work from a messy office.
A recent study from the Economist indicates that 93% of organisations are ready to clean up legacy information assets, however executing a clean up project in-house could consume valuable resources and even lead to the risk of data breach.
Our Clean Start experts can help you maximise your space and reduce clutter through the secure and sustainable consolidation or recycling of:

While some organisations turn to traditional moving or real estate services companies for help, most don’t have the expertise, trained and vetted employees or secure chain of custody to handle paper records, IT assets, and other sensitive materials.
Iron Mountain Clean Start can help with a complete set of services that you need for a successful move or restack, all under a single vendor and following our unique approach to project planning and execution:
Clean Start can support a successful and secure move or restack project execution, while also helping you to optimise space usage in your new or refreshed workplace.
A recent CBRE survey found that 87% of corporate real estate leaders are focused on portfolio optimisation as a top priority, however closing an office location is never as simple as turning the lights off and locking the doors.
Sensitive information assets located throughout the facility, often commingled with personal employee items and office equipment, can expose your organisation to a data breach if not properly handled and managed.
While traditional moving companies and real estate service companies can support office closure projects, most don’t have the expertise, trained and vetted employees, or secure chain of custody to handle and manage your organisation’s most valuable assets correctly.
Best of all, Iron Mountain can provide all these services and more under a single vendor with our unique approach to planning and executing your office closure.
However, portfolio-wide real estate initiatives and M&A integration can be impeded by obstacles such as widely dispersed facility locations, large volumes of files or other assets, and conflicting processes and tools for sharing and protecting information.
Turn to Iron Mountain Clean Start to successfully navigate portfolio-wide real estate initiatives and M&A activity. With experts and resources located throughout the world, our team can help to:
Whether you need support for a single office, or a standardised process to support the integration or closure of multiple locations, turn to Iron Mountain to simplify project management under one vendor.
