Keystone Group, Europe's second-largest manufacturer of niche building components, has grown from 7 sites and 400 users to 30 sites and 1,200 users in just a few years. Peter Donnelly, Head of IT with over 30 years of experience, has led that transformation alongside a 20-person IT team, relying on Mimecast as a trusted partner for over seven years. "Mimecast has been with us for as long as I've been here, and it consistently outperforms competitors in terms of security, functionality, and customer success," Donnelly says.
Beyond email security, Keystone leans on Mimecast's 99-year archiving for compliance and historical reference, "we can always go back to the 'beginning of time' to find emails that we need." Keystone also maintains a strong internal security culture, what Donnelly calls a "human firewall," where employees stay vigilant against risks like unauthorized file transfers alongside Mimecast's technical protections. When Keystone hit a rough patch with delayed email delivery, Mimecast resolved it quickly, reinforcing Donnelly's confidence in the partnership as the company continues to scale.
