Mimecast, the leading provider of online unified email management (UEM) solutions and services, today announced that Technology Concepts had become a Mimecast Business Partner.
"Being proactive and evaluating new technologies in the market that we believe solve the business needs of our clients, is a key aspect of our business model," commented Deidre Dawson, COO of Technology Concepts. "One of the business needs that is becoming increasingly important is that of compliance, particularly in respect of emails and their retention. This is especially so as emails are, from a communications perspective, the lifeblood of the majority of organisations in today's environment."
"We had been looking for an answer that properly addressed this aspect of business for some time and had even considered developing our own in-house solution," added Dawson. "However, the latter choice would have brought with it an immense in-house responsibility, which we felt uncomfortable in handling. Subsequently, we came across the Mimecast solution, which 'ticked' all the right boxes, i.e. it was a perfect solution, and in addition had some attractive and additional 'bells and whistles'. These included the ten year retention option, the continuity component and the ability to store emails off-site, a critical option in today's 'load-shedding' environment."
"The option to become only the second Business Partner, with MTN Business being the only other one, was also very appealing," continued Dawson, "and finally, not surprisingly, we are also installing Mimecast for our use since we firmly believe in the benefits that the solution brings to organisations."
"The proactive role that Technology Concepts plays within the market to satisfy business needs with either their own developed products or via a partnership with a third party, was an attractive proposition for us at Mimecast and presented, from our point of view, a tremendous 'value add' opportunity," concluded Garth Wittles, Managing Director of Mimecast SA. "From the work already done by Technology Concepts within its user base coupled with the amount of interest that has been shown by these organisations, I am confident that we have established a relationship that bodes well for the future of both businesses."
