Iron Mountain Scales to New Heights with BusinessObjects XI

Global Leader in Information Protection and Storage Names Business Objects as Its Enterprise Business Intelligence Standard

SAN JOSE, Calif. and PARIS - February 15, 2006 - Business Objects (Nasdaq: BOBJ; Euronext Paris ISIN code: FR0004026250 - BOB), the world's leading provider of business intelligence (BI) solutions, today announced that Iron Mountain (NYSE: IRM), the global leader in information protection and storage services, has deployed BusinessObjects™ XI as its enterprise business intelligence standard.

"BusinessObjects XI significantly enhances our business intelligence capabilities, supporting our decision making processes and our ability to measure how well we execute against business strategy," said Dave Weldon, vice president of information technology at Iron Mountain. "We expect to see tangible benefits in the first quarter of 2006, and through 2007 and beyond. An 18 month payback is a very short time frame, and that is a conservative estimate on how quickly we expect to see an ROI benefit for Iron Mountain."

Iron Mountain first deployed Business Objects solutions to the company's marketing department and will extend the BI capabilities to the rest of the organization on a rolling basis. Iron Mountain is implementing Crystal Reports® XI and BusinessObjects Web Intelligence™ XI, as well as BusinessObjects Data Integrator XI for extracting information from various Iron Mountain source systems.

Iron Mountain provides records management and data protection services to more than 275,000 customer accounts in 26 countries, and operates more than 800 facilities throughout North America, Europe, Latin America and the Pacific Rim. With BusinessObjects XI, Iron Mountain will be able to take advantage of its rich customer and business information and apply that information for:

building go-to-market and pricing strategies
understanding customer needs and buying behaviors
providing additional value to customers such as insight into their records management and data protection compliance versus best practices

"Iron Mountain knows that standardizing on a single BI platform was the right thing to do for the organization," said Rene Bonvanie, chief marketing officer at Business Objects. "Business Objects and Iron Mountain have worked hand in hand to develop a long-term BI strategy for the company that is translating into proven business intelligence ROI in a very short time frame. Companies such as Iron Mountain, who rely on business intelligence from Business Objects, know that BI offers a low-cost, high-value path to achieving business performance on an entirely new scale."
