Mimecast, the number one Software-Plus-Services partner for Microsoft Exchange and Outlook, has announced today a new partnership with Phoenix Business Solutions, a provider of IT consultancy and software services to firms in the professional services sector. Phoenix will add the unified email management service from Mimecast to their portfolio of products.

Mimecast services for Microsoft Exchange, Outlook and Windows Mobile give customers of all sizes access to an enterprise level unified email management service that includes email security, continuity and archiving. Because Mimecast utilises a Software-as-a-Service (S-a-a-S) model it is quick and easy to connect to, with no need for hardware or software, removing the hassle, complexity and cost of alternative on-premise solutions - but without sacrificing any of the quality and control.

Lee Tomlinson, Sales Director of Phoenix Business Solutions expressed his excitement over the agreement, “We were keen to find a partner that would help us improve the email service that our customers demand in order to keep their people working efficiently at all times. They demand email that is free from spam, viruses, malware, phishing attacks and all unknown threats. Further, they want a service that allows for email to be archived up to 10 years with a bottomless inbox for their users and a continuity service that keeps them productive, regardless of any planned or unplanned mail server downtime.”

Tomlinson continues, <s>“</s>We could only find one solution that delivered on its promise and that was the unified email management service from Mimecast. What this means to our customers is that they can now better protect their investment in a Microsoft

Exchange, Outlook and Windows Mobile infrastructure as the service from Mimecast integrates with Microsoft technology to provide a robust email platform. What appeals to our customers most, mainly because they are of varying sizes, is that this service is accessible by any organisation due to the simple, predictable and low cost pricing.”

Peter Bauer CEO of Mimecast added, “We couldn’t be more pleased with the decision by Phoenix to want to work with us in delivering quality email solutions to the professional services industry. One in three of the UK’s top 100 law firms use Mimecast and I’m sure this fact had a part to play in the decision. In addition to this we have a channel focused strategy which makes us appealing to partner with. That we are able to combine our efforts with impressive partners such as Phoenix in order to deliver the right email technology solutions to the right customers is very positive for any organisation with email management issues to solve. Our hard work to integrate the Mimecast service with the Microsoft email platform, plus strong partnerships with VARs such as Phoenix will help guarantee that people who work in a professional services environment will have a fast, clean and reliable email service. We will deliver email for them free from spam, viruses and unknown threats, that is archived with easy access to stored email and has a failsafe and seamless continuity service.”
