Case Study: a large healthcare organization reduces storage cost and risk with Iron Mountain Smart Sort

Large Healthcare Organization - Customer Case Study

A large healthcare organization faced the challenge of wanting to destroy records that had met retention requirements to reduce cost and risk. However, they lacked the budget for a large-scale discovery project, which left their efforts at a standstill. They turned to Iron Mountain for a solution using its Smart Sort process.

Iron Mountain retrieved 48,000 cartons and reviewed them at the file-level. Their team sorted and reboxed all files according to the retention schedule in real time, identifying those eligible for destruction. This process enabled the customer to confidently destroy 123,000 files, immediately reducing storage costs and mitigating risk while meeting compliance requirements. Iron Mountain also helped establish a process for ongoing destruction.
