Simplify Outlook email management with Mimecast

While moving to Microsoft Office 365 offers productivity benefits and predictable costs, this leading cloud-based platform cannot provide all the tools needed for effective Outlook email management.

In traditional on-premises deployments, organizations frequently augment Outlook email management with best-of-breed solutions for managing email disaster recovery, ensuring data security and simplifying retention and compliance. While it is among the world’s most popular productivity solutions, Office 365 may not offer the additional security, continuity and Outlook email archiving solutions that enterprises require for superior Outlook email management.

That’s where Mimecast can help. Providing a rich set of cloud services designed to mitigate the risks of moving email infrastructure to the cloud, Mimecast complements Office 365 and Outlook email management capabilities by addressing key security, continuity and archiving needs, as well as migration and operational challenges.
