Mimecast has been included in the list of outsourced e-mail archiving service providers in the Gartner 'Outsourcing E-Mail Archiving: 2Q09 Update' by Adam W Couture, on 27 April 2009.
The report examines the benefits and capabilities of today's hosted e-mail archiving solutions and profiles key service providers in this market.
According to the Gartner report, “Organisations should consider using service providers to help them quickly implement interim or permanent solutions without heavy upfront investments in technology or internal expertise. Consider using a service provider for not just archiving, but also for e-mail continuity, virus protection and spam filtering.”
Given the increase in e-mail volumes and sizes of attachments, the Gartner report also highlights, “For organisations looking to capture and save everything, with limited or no mailbox management requirements, a hosted solution may be more cost-effective than an in-house solution. Increased use of on-site appliances for bandwidth and encryption management, plus the addition of attachment management and attractive pricing have made hosted solutions much more competitive with in-house solutions.”
Mimecast CEO Peter Bauer comments: “We are pleased to be included in this Gartner report. Mimecast uniquely offers organisations an outsourced option to in-house e-mail management that covers all the bases: e-mail archiving, continuity and security. We've seen rapid movement in this market as customers wish to acquire technology that integrates outsourced e-mail archiving within an overall e-mail management framework. This is reflected in Mimecast's fast growing market share in the outsourced e-mail archiving market.”
Adding, “Outsourced solutions such as Mimecast alleviate the complexity and resource intensiveness of in-house archiving, and can significantly reduce the capital and ongoing running costs.”
