Independent firm of chartered surveyors and property consultants secures Mimecast to provide unified email management services for three years
31 August 2010 – London: Mimecast®, a
unified email management company, has been selected by Sanderson Weatherall, a leading independent practice of chartered surveyors and property consultants, to provide cloud-based email
security,
continuity, policy control and
archiving, across its five UK offices with immediate effect.
Sanderson Wetherall, who employ over 250 staff across offices in Leeds, London, Newcastle upon Tyne, Manchester and Teesside, were previously using several different providers to manage the areas of email security, email archiving and business continuity. The three year deal with Mimecast consolidates these services and integrates fully with the company’s existing Microsoft Exchange and Outlook environments.
Operating across a broad range of areas in the public and private sectors, Sanderson Weatherall has grown rapidly and the need to scale the company’s email infrastructure to match this growth was a factor in selecting Mimecast.
Adrian Rich, Partner, Information Technology at Sanderson Wetherall, commented; “It was after a great deal of industry research that we decided to award the contract to Mimecast, because the service genuinely offers the best overall functionality and integration. As we were consolidating previously independent IT services it was important to us to keep any disruption to our staff to a minimum and Mimecast really held up its end of the bargain. The team provided a seamless and professional integration without impacting on business. Furthermore, our ROI has markedly improved; we’ve made massive savings compared to our previous solutions and the bottomless archive service means that as our business grows there are no incremental cost implications.”
Peter Bauer, co- founder and CEO of Mimecast added; “Sanderson Wetherall operates in a number of business areas and is transforming its commercial and personal interactions by connecting people through its extensive office network, setting the standard for the real estate market. This implementation demonstrates the real value of Mimecast’s email solutions; providing them with the secure platform required to operate alongside existing Microsoft Exchange and Outlook environments and enabling access to vast archives in seconds, rather than days.”
