Important milestones of the company's progress were the creation of the first model Digitization Center in 2009, which today has the capacity to produce up to 4 million images per month, which allowed it to implement the largest digitization projects that followed as well as the strategic cooperation with the company M -Files for the design of Electronic Document and Workflow Management solutions that helped in the possibility of now, complete solutions starting from the safekeeping of the physical file and ending in the management of the electronic.

The goal of the company is to continue to provide quality services in the market and to highlight the capabilities and solutions offered by the company, which quickly and easily can be implemented by any organization by taking important steps towards its digital transformation.
It is important to emphasize that our services were, at a time when the work environment and market have changed due to the pandemic, the measure of business continuity for many organizations. Services such as physical file digitization and electronic file management are the only option for managing conditions similar to those we experience.
The company has implemented the largest document digitization projects in companies from various market sectors such as Banking, Insurance, Corporate, Financial, Hotel, Commerce and the public sector. The experience and know-how gained in the management of physical documents led the company to design and implement successful solutions for Electronic Management of documents and information, selected by major organizations in the Cypriot market, having already exceeded 125 applications.
The year 2021 is expected to be the year in which the digital transformation of organizations will accelerate. In the private sector, the level of digital transformation varies depending on the company, but in general, due to the low prioritization of digital actions, to a large extent our country was lagging behind in the implementation of such solutions. A similar situation occurs in the public sector.
However, the new work environment created due to the pandemic, the risks of operational continuity that have emerged but also the actions of the state to help the integration of digital solutions (such as the creation of the Ministry of Digital Policy, the announcement of a Sponsorship Plan for Digital Upgrading of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) by the Ministry of Energy, Trade & Industry, etc.) and the adoption of electronic signature, which is expected to be more strongly integrated into our daily lives in the near future lead to the planning of digital transition actions. At the same time, companies have realized the need for digitization and electronic management of their data and it is a priority for them to implement such projects that will allow them to look to the future with more security and confidence as the business continuity of their organization.
With the widest and best service platform in the world, Iron Mountain is the most stable, reliable and secure choice in providing information management services to all types of companies and the goal is to help companies in Cyprus to implement their digital transition smoothly and successfully.
