Iron Mountain, the storage and information management services company enabling digital transformation, has announced the expansion of its Clean Start program into the UAE.
The program was launched first in North America last year and now Clean Start’s expansion to the UAE has been accelerated in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has forced businesses to reconsider how they use office space and how they can provide more personal space for employees without increasing their real estate footprint.
Clean Start is a flexible program that is designed to fit the unique needs of each business. Each customer is provided with a dedicated Iron Mountain Clean Start representative, who will work with them to deliver the program in three easy steps:
- Assessment: Iron Mountain representative conducts an on-site or virtual walk-through of business and surveys areas for improvements
- Evaluation: Customer receives a summary of proposed improvements to review and discuss internally
- Activation: Iron Mountain representative develops a best practice plan to follow and implement across departments to clear up space and transform the organisation.
Clean Start is designed to navigate a variety of office changes, including closures, occupancy in a new space including large HQ moves or reconfiguration of an existing space. Iron Mountain will manage the clean-out process from start to finish and provide services to facilitate the donation or secure disposition of materials or equipment no longer needed and the temporary or permanent storage of everything else.
Iron Mountain will also assess each customers’ processes and give advice for how to best redesign business workflows and shift to more digital ways of working.
Cenker Ozhelvaci, Vice President of Emerging Markets, Managing Director of Iron Mountain UAE and Turkey said “As businesses in the UAE are returning to the office, this is the perfect opportunity to take the time to evaluate their workplaces and make permanent, positive change. Our Clean Start program helps businesses return to their offices in a safe, responsible way, while optimising processes, improving information management and cutting unnecessary costs.”
Customers who participate in the Clean Start program will be able to:
- Reduce the amount of expensive office space used for non-productive activities which can delay the need to expand or provide an opportunity to contract
- Repurpose offices and conference rooms into higher-value alternatives
- Reclaim space that is overrun with archives, seasonal items, marketing materials, and surplus furniture
- Recoup closets, file cabinets and storage spaces that are full of outdated IT assets, as well as unneeded office furniture and equipment.
