Case Study: Mizuho Capital Markets Corporation strengthens disaster recovery and secure document management with Xerox DocuShare

Mizuho Capital Markets Corporation secures 50,000 files with Xerox DocuShare

Mizuho Capital Markets Corporation, a specialized financial derivatives subsidiary, faced a significant challenge in securing and managing tens of thousands of paper trading contracts after its World Trade Center office was destroyed on 9/11, losing all physical records. The firm's previous method of storing documents in fireproof cases was deemed an inefficient disaster recovery solution. With limited IT resources, they urgently needed a robust system to digitize and protect their fragile paper records.

Xerox Corporation implemented its DocuShare® Platform to create a secure, digital repository for Mizuho's critical documents. The solution provided instant access to over 50,000 files, eliminated the need for physical file storage, and enabled secure global information transmission. The DocuShare system's multiple levels of security permissions ensured regulatory compliance. As a result, Mizuho achieved efficient business continuity and enhanced data protection, later integrating Xerox multifunction printers for an end-to-end document management solution.
