Mimecast’s war on complexity began over a decade ago, when our founders recognized that corporate email was spiralling out of control, becoming more expensive and difficult to manage.
Storage costs. Security risks. The disruption caused by server downtime. The challenge of compliance. IT departments were under immense pressure, and there was an urgent need to kill the complexity that was stifling them.
Find out why our Founders chose to build a Unified Email Management platform in the cloud
A radical response: Challenging complexity in email management
Mimecast set out to completely reinvent the category, by building a single, unified hosted service that could solve the security, continuity archiving and compliance problems facing teams running Microsoft Exchange.
We immediately removed the need for businesses to deploy and manage multiple 3rd party systems on their networks. With Mimecast taking care of the complexity ‘in the cloud’, businesses were able to keep a lean, high performance Exchange set-up onsite for their users.
This unified platform has radically simplified the notoriously complex world of email management.
True SaaS, purpose-built, high performance grid
Mimecast is a pure play SaaS company, with software designed specifically to work in a multi-tenant architecture. Our own unique, purpose-built, high performance grid allows us to provide unparalleled security, reliability integrity and performance to our customers. Unlike most of our competitors, we have built our system from the ground up, rather than bolting together disparate applications that have been acquired, or OEM’ed, from third parties.
Unified Email Management
We offer our customers a suite of tools within our unified email management service, including security, archiving, business continuity and Mobile Access in a single integrated solution. To the customer, this means the continuous and consistent enforcement of email security, data loss prevention and archiving policies at all times.
This enhances the power available to a business’s end users, achieves compliance objectives, extends storage, improves uptime, increases mobile workforce productivity and saves money - all without having to buy any more hardware or software.
