Iron Mountain Launches Lation American Initiative for Technology Escrow and Domain Name Services

Intellectual Property Management Division Expands Global Footprint

September 28, 2005

Boston, MA - Iron Mountain Incorporated (NYSE:IRM) has expanded its Latin American focus with an initiative to educate the market about its Intellectual Property Management services. These services are designed to protect and manage intellectual property through technology escrow and domain name records management. Iron Mountain currently has a strong presence in Latin America with offices in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Peru, Puerto Rico and Mexico; this launch will broaden the services offered to these markets.

Iron Mountain Senior Vice President John Boruvka has spearheaded the launch by visiting each of the Latin American offices and meeting with key customers. He explains, “We are very committed to the Latin American market. We have trained people in each of our offices who can provide local sales and service support for our Intellectual Property Management offerings. Our customers worldwide are demanding global services to help mitigate the risk with these licensed technology and brand management assets.”

Ricardo Garcia, vice president of sales and marketing for the region adds, “Small and medium local software companies are using technology escrow to compete in the world economy. Already, we have seen both local holdings and global multinationals use technology escrow agreements to provide peace of mind when doing business with small and medium software developers. In addition, the Latin American market demonstrates a need for domain name management services now, as the region is the fastest growing market in terms of internet users worldwide.”

Technology escrow services are fast becoming a key component of global corporate risk management and business continuity strategies. As an escrow agent, Iron Mountain is a neutral third party that works with technology licensees and developers to manage software source code and other proprietary materials in escrow and make them available when specific and predetermined release conditions have been met. The company also offers a unique online management tool called Iron Mountain Connect™ Escrow Management Center designed specifically to let Iron Mountain customers manage all of their escrow needs online worldwide.

With its domain name management services, Iron Mountain works with large corporate clients that typically have between 50 and 15,000 domain names in their inventory. As these companies increasingly tie their trademarks – and their companies’ futures – to the global capabilities of the Internet, management and protection of associated domain name records becomes a critical task. In Latin America, the registration of domain names is predominantly conducted by businesses versus individuals, and therefore business users are looking for education and assistance in this area. One service that can help with domain name management is the Iron Mountain Connect™ Domain Name Center, a professional web tool that gives clients a central point of control to manage all of their domain name records and policies across multiple subsidiaries, divisions and cost centers – in any top-level domain.
