An email archive service resolves a complex IT dilemma.
As email has become the center of business communication, the ability to effectively archive email has become critical to business continuity. A superior email archive service enables organizations to search retained email to meet compliance, collaboration, or operational needs. It ensures that email is available during an outage or crisis, and it creates a complete record of communication inside the organization as well as with partners, customers, suppliers, and others.
Creating an in-house email archive solution can be a costly and technically complex endeavor for many organizations. Creating central repository for email grows more difficult as the size of the organization increases and the number of email users expands. And as message volumes and attachment sizes continue to grow larger, the cost of hardware and the IT resources need to manage, maintain and upgrade it can consume a disproportionate amount of IT budgets.
Using an email archive service enables companies to reap the benefits of email archiving without significant upfront investment. For organizations seeking an email archive service that provides simple search capabilities of and continuous access to retained email, Mimecast offers a service that is both effective and cost-efficient.

“The Mimecast system allows us to offload all the hassle of capacity planning for the next ten years of storage without sacrificing any of the control”
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.”
