TELECOMWORLDWIRE-21 May 2008-Iron Mountain and IBM announce plans for unified offering(C)1994-2008 M2 COMMUNICATIONS LTD http://www.m2.com

Iron Mountain Incorporated (NYSE: IRM), a provider of information protection and storage services, and information technology company IBM (NYSE:IBM) announced on Tuesday (20 May) plans for a unified offering that combines Iron Mountain's Accutrac software for physical records management with IBM FileNet Records Manager.

The joint solution is expected to address customer demand for one system capable of keeping physical and electronic records in compliance with regulations and providing access to information in case of litigation.

According to the company, the integration of Accutrac and IBM FileNet Records Manager will offer customers improved access to their records, paper or electronic, active or inactive. The single window into an organization's records will enable better decision making and facilitate consistent records-keeping practices for classifying, tracking and managing documents. In addition, standardizing how records are coded and managed throughout the organization will help companies capture information and search it, ensuring quicker response to litigation and reducing risk of noncompliance with regulations.

The integration will use IBM ZeroClick technology for records declaration and records lifecycle administration. The joint solution is expected to be available in late 2008. No pricing details were disclosed.
