Through the new MAM platform Iron Mountain Entertainment Services provides a powerful one-stop-shop solution for content owners
Iron Mountain Entertainment Services (IMES) is pleased to announce the launch of Smart Vault, a new Media Asset Management solution for IMES’ market-leading storage services that provides broadcasters, production companies, brands, sports rights holders, and any media organisations involved in the production of content with a powerful one-stop solution for content management, storage, and archive.

As well as streamlining and bringing multiple efficiencies to the elongated processes used in managing media assets, powerful AI/ML capabilities enable users to enrich the media stored in the platform, providing valuable monetization opportunities for existing and future archive content.
