WHY DIGITISE YOUR MAILROOM MANAGEMENT PROCESSES
In today’s digital age, organisations are constantly seeking ways to optimise business processes and reduce reliance on paper-based information. However, managing large volumes of inbound paper-based mail continues to be a core part of many operational processes. With the rise of hybrid work in Singapore, traditional paper-based information poses a challenge for a distributed workforce that needs secure, timely access to mail regardless of location.
Traditional mailroom management relies on manual systems and processes that are labour intensive and prone to human error, compromising information security, compliance requirements, and work efficiency. As organisations consider downsising and/or optimising real estate space, they need to streamline operations and connect data across business silos. This is where Iron Mountain digital mailroom services come in.

WHAT IS A DIGITAL MAILROOM?
A digital mailroom is a system that automates the processing of physical mail and email. Physical mails are scanned and made available electronically, then undergo a similar process as emails, where they are sorted and auto-routed to the intended recipient(s), then stored in a secure repository that can be accessed remotely by authorised personnels. Digital mailroom solutions include features such as audit trails for tracking mail movement, secure access to digital mail, and the ability to automate document-centric processes.

Being able to access documents remotely and track mail in real-time also improves accountability and visibility, helping organisations provide timely and efficient mail delivery to recipients and stay compliant with data protection regulations.
Iron Mountain Digital Mailroom is a comprehensive mailroom management solution that supports organisations from document scanning and automated mail classification and routing, to secure digital and physical storage and/or destruction.
