The award recognises Smart Vault for its capability in helping organisations of any size to ensure their content is stored securely, together with best-in-class technology ensuring fast and flexible access to all assets.

Lance Podell, SVP and General Manager for Iron Mountain Entertainment Services said “We are proud to have been awarded the SATIS trophy for Innovation and Creation for our Smart Vault media asset management platform. This is extremely gratifying to win, but even more important to our team is that we won for the benefits and value we have been able to deliver for our clients' archives through Smart Vault, such as for Canal+.
