An effective email spam filtering service improves productivity.

Spam can hurt an organization in more ways than one. Without a superior email spam filtering service, a flood of spam email can slow delivery of legitimate messages, compromising the pace at which companies can move. Employees lose valuable time sifting through their inbox to find good email among loads of spam, or they may easily overlook important and urgent messages. And the resources needed to process large volumes of spam can quickly degrade system performance.

Many companies have sought to implement an in-house email spam filtering service. But these products often require inordinate amounts of IT resources and administrative overhead, and still may cause system degradation at peak usage times. Other companies have turned to managed service providers for an email spam filtering service. But these solutions frequently cause an unacceptable slow down in message delivery for a variety of reasons-most providers lack true multi-tenancy as well as the technology to prioritize processing of good emails over spam. The other reason is that most spam filtering services apply their security practices AFTER acceptance of email - meaning they accept all emails, including spam, which often slows processing & performance.

Mimecast offers a superior email spam filtering service that enables companies to protect against threats to productivity and performance without having to commit extraordinary time and money.
