Winning business with Software+Services

Most of your competitors (and ours) will continue selling the same old fragmented stack of email point solutions. With Mimecast, you can offer a fresh approach that fits with your existing investments in sales and technical skill and can boost the growth of your Microsoft line of business.

Mimecast will help you to win new customer accounts and to develop significant new revenue opportunities from existing customers.

Fragmented email management

Mimecast removes the need for the fragmented stack of email point solutions that plague nearly every corporate IT department including; in-house email archiving systems and all of the technical complexity that ship with these, hygiene and content gateways which frequently introduce single points of failure, managed service email security providers whose “first generation” architectures are now fatigued and underperforming, and the complex multi site email disaster recovery configurations that only larger companies can afford.

Consider the RISKS of 'fragmented email management'

Are you missing vital information? For example:

  • Email content is often archived separately from the delivery receipt. How can you prove an email has been delivered if the delivery receipt is not archived?
  • Are email delivery receipts archived for the full life of the email content?
  • Is there a record of the policies that were applied to each individual email?  Is this also archived?
  • If your spam filter is separate to your archive, do you unnecessarily archive spam?
  • Do you archive multiple versions of the same message?
  • If you are using a hosted email filtering service, what gateway delivery information is passed to you for archiving?

Outside of IT circles, little is known or appreciated about the cost, risk and complexity involved in corporate email infrastructures. Most companies now have fragmented, complex and expensive email infrastructures. A simpler, more holistic strategy is desperately called for.

Leveraging a purpose built multitenant software-as-a-service architecture with a number of market leading technical innovations; Mimecast’s Unified Email Management services profoundly change both the economics and dynamics of the email security, continuity and archiving markets.
