Sounds like an opportunity that a good capitalist could take advantage of.
Depends on the organization I assume. We've got a sizeable presence of physical and digital records that need saving. I could not tell you about the differences (physical vs digital options etc). That's not my space.
The Iron Mountain contracts are structured as the exit fees are so high we calculated it took about 5 years to get to break-even after switching to a much lower cost competitor. The owners didn't want to go through the hassle for something that didn't pay itself off in 5 years.Surprising that all these customers hate Iron Mountain yet the Data & Records management sector is full of competitors like Carbonite, ARC Document Solutions, InfoPreserve, ThinAir, Dell EMC, HC3, Access Information Management, Shred-it International, Hewlett-Packard Enterprise, Object Storage, Switchfast Technologies, Cortavo, Code Zero.
Should be easy to switch
Nothing to forgive. Informational post only. And, frankly, not that much of it.Forgive me, I was being sarcastic. I don’t know shit about how difficult it is to change data management companies
The trickle is coming!
So I'm looking at these charts. And there appears to be about 35 lines on each of them, which presumably represents 35 different countries. And the US and the UK look to be ranked above average (meaning there are about 20 lines below them both) when looking at the bottom 5 and 10 percentile charts. Yet the author picked one country, Slovenia, to try and make a point.It’s just really confusing to me how so many well-to-do Americans - lot of people on this board, can look down at the bottom 80% of wealth distribution in this country and ask “why can’t you do this? “Why can’t you get a good job and do what I did?” When what they did is exceptional. That’s what upper middle class and upper class Americans refuse to politically and culturally acknowledge, is that they are the exception, not the rule. Lower income/low wealth in America isn’t an exception, it isn’t abnormal - it’s the normal. That’s the average American experience, and that is how America and American capitalism should be judged - by the quality of life of the people at the bottom, not at the top.
I'm also fairly sure if the US became 90% white and 70% christian like Norway, those with the money would feel more comfortable about increasing the social safety net.
