Financial institution achieves enhanced audit compliance and secure remarketing with Iron Mountain Asset Lifecycle Management

Advanced reporting and streamlined service

In its commitment to IT excellence and compliance, a leading US financial institution sought to improve its IT asset disposition (ITAD) programme and address a critical need for more robust reporting when disposing of retired laptops and various IT equipment.

Previously challenged by multiple weekly reports that didn’t meet the demands of auditors, the institution needed a new solution that could not only provide more detailed information on end-of-life IT assets but also bring a secure chain of custody to their doorstep while integrating with its existing systems. To be worthwhile, changing vendors had to be a seamless and positive experience from the get-go. Choosing Iron Mountain’s ITAD programme for corporate end-user devices made sense.

Equipped with advanced barcode scanners, onsite teams work closely with Iron Mountain to meticulously reconcile every end-of-life asset against a presubmitted list before assets leave the premises. This enhanced chain of custody not only fortifies the organisation’s audit compliance but continues to empower IT leaders with real-time analytics and visibility throughout the asset lifecycle, setting a new standard in their ITAD programme management.

With Iron Mountain, the institution now processes and ships out more than 1,000 end-of-life IT assets per month from the convenience of its local facilities. And redesigned audit reports are tailored to the organisation’s specific regulatory needs.
