Deployed in tandem with Microsoft Office 365, Mimecast’s cloud-based services support organisations adopting the new platform by offering an independent, tamper-proof, long-term email archive with granular eDiscovery and legal hold capabilities.

The benefits of Mimecast’s services for Microsoft Office 365 include:

· 100% service availability SLA – Should there be any planned or unplanned outages, during or after the move to Office 365, Mimecast will automatically deliver an uninterrupted email service to end users via their Microsoft Outlook mailboxes

· A unified system – Mimecast supports any combination of Exchange – whether on-premise, hosted or as part of Office 365 – by enabling centralised policy management and a single organisation-wide archive wherever users’ mailboxes reside

· Legal and compliance support – Mimecast’s granular eDiscovery and litigation hold capabilities allow designated personnel to rapidly identify, control and retrieve data. Strong chains of custody are maintained for each message, providing evidential quality data, should it be required

· Seamless integration – The Mimecast solution is easy to set-up – organisations simply have to switch their MX records to point to Mimecast’s datacentres and enable SMTP journaling in Microsoft Exchange Online – and the archive and continuity capability integrates fully with Microsoft Outlook and Exchange

· Migration support – Moving historical email to the independent Mimecast archive before migrating to Office 365 protects data from the increased risks associated with any migration process as well as providing a single consolidated message repository for ongoing business benefits
