Migrate off Iron Mountain

Leave the metered archive — without losing a single record.

Marco wants out of per-retrieval pricing, but moving decades of records feels risky. Retention, holds, and chain of custody all have to survive the move.

The reality today

Migration feels riskier than the status quo

Custody risk

Moving records raises the fear of breaking retention schedules or losing provenance.

Mixed media

Scanned images and born-digital files live in different systems with no through-line.

No clean cutover

Teams worry about a gap where records are neither in the old system nor fully in the new.

Overview

See where the estate stands on day one

Every estate starts as a black box. The Overview scores repository health, AI-readiness, and migration-readiness across every connected system, flags the weakest one, and surfaces the open dispositions awaiting a decision — so you know exactly what you inherited before you touch a thing.

What happens, step by step

From problem to proof

1

Profile first

Repository health and migration-readiness are scored across every connected system before anything moves.

2

Sync, don’t copy

A delta-sync engine ingests images and documents incrementally — no fragile bulk transfer.

3

Carry the governance

Event-based retention, legal holds, and the audit ledger are applied as records land.

4

Cut over clean

Search and retrieval go live across the whole estate, included, the day you flip the switch.

FAQ

Common questions

Will retention survive the move?

Yes. Event-based retention and legal holds are applied as records are ingested, and every action is recorded on a tamper-evident ledger.

Do we have to re-scan anything?

No. Scanned images and born-digital documents are ingested as-is onto one engine.

How long does it take?

Most teams connect systems and see governed search in days; full migration scopes to your volume.
