Mimecast, the leading supplier of cloud-based email archiving, continuity and security for Microsoft Exchange and Office 365, today announced it has extended its mobile services to the iPhone.
With the Mimecast iPhone App, employees gain a bottomless mobile inbox, and the ability to search and access archived e-mails from their mobile device. The new Mimecast iPhone App is free and available now for download from the App Store.
Mimecast's new flexible Mobile Access licensing plan, also announced today, includes support for Mimecast archive search from iPhone and BlackBerry devices, and e-mail continuity for BlackBerry users.
This enables IT managers to give their end-users access to their e-mail archive service from multiple mobile devices, without the cost and complexity of managing multiple licences for different device types. Mimecast will extend the new licensing plan to other mobile platforms over the coming months, including Windows Mobile and Android devices.
“Consumerisation of IT is here - employees are increasingly showing up to work with their personal devices, and businesses need to realise enterprise mobility is no longer a nice-to-have,” said Garth Wittles, managing director, Mimecast South Africa. “Our Mobile Access for the iPhone builds on our existing mobile strategy, which enables organisations to increase mobile workforce productivity and agility within a secure environment. By extending our Mobile Access offering to the iPhone, and soon to other platforms, enterprises both large and small can give their entire workforce increased flexibility and ensure employees can remain productive, regardless of device or location.”
Apple recently cited that 91% of Fortune 500 companies have either adopted the iPhone within the enterprise, or are testing the device for deployment.[i] With the new Mimecast App, iPhone users gain a bottomless mobile inbox and comprehensive mobile search capabilities, including the ability to search the entire e-mail archive. This search feature allows users to hone in on particular dates, senders and even content in specific parts of the e-mail, such as subject line, attachments or message headers. The application also presents users with a mobile “Online Inbox”, giving them uninterrupted access to all new and received e-mails, even when their Exchange service is down.
“I installed it last week,” says Dominic Oettl, CEO of Think IT. “I am genuinely impressed and have used it multiple times.”
