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).
Leaders like you have been trying 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.
Traditional mailrooms rely on manual systems and processes that are labour 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.
