An email archive is critical to business
Email has become the core application and business communication tool. It serves to facilitate communication between people, and also records business commitments, transmits purchase orders and document negotiations. As email has increased in importance, email archiving is becoming crucial. The ability to search retained email files is critical for any organization in terms of compliance, eDiscovery, collaboration, and maintaining the lowest possible recovery point objectives (RPOs) and recovery time objectives (RTOs).
An email archive documents and records many aspects of business communications - both within the company and with its customers, suppliers and partners. The quality and auditability of an email archive can have direct bearing on legal proceedings & compliance reporting. Keeping a business running 24/7 also requires an email continuity solution that ensure the email archive is available during an outage or crisis.
Yet creating a secure and central email archive is a complex task. The bigger the organization, the more difficult it can be to coordinate multiple servers and locations. That's why savvy organizations throughout the world are connecting to Mimecast for an email archive service that is effective and cost-efficient.

Butterfield Bank Cayman
“Our old means of storage meant we were unable to search or select specific messages. Now, we can archive all emails for up to seven years in a system that’s as safe as a bank’s vault but our audit group also has a simple means of quickly and easily retrieving any email.”
