Project Highlight: Iron Mountain: Move Beyond Paper and Reclaim the Value of Your Information with Workflow AutomationWorkflow automation can make it easier to locate records, have staff operate efficiently and can decrease operating costs. With changes and mandates happening in government, information needs to be kept secure and reliable, yet accessible to your end customers. Information management programs need to be compliant with a variety of federal records regulations. Workflow automation can help agencies meet these federal modernization mandates. To understand agency pain points with records mandates and gauge benefits and challenges of a shared service model for workflow automation, Iron Mountain commissioned Market Connections to survey federal employees involved with data and records management.
