Case Study: Harris, Finley & Bogle, P.C. achieves 66% productivity boost and always-on email access with Mimecast

Attorneys Invoke Mobile Client Privileges for Email Archives

Harris, Finley & Bogle, P.C., a 65-user law firm in Fort Worth, Texas, was struggling after migrating from Novell GroupWise to Exchange 2010: storage costs soared, Exchange’s web-based archive and search were slow and unreliable, and attorneys needed fast, mobile access and uninterrupted email during server outages. The firm’s sole IT director also faced heavy administrative overhead managing archiving, security, and mailbox continuity.

HFB deployed the Mimecast SaaS suite (Cloud Archiving, Targeted Threat Protection, Large File Send and Mailbox Continuity), ran archives in parallel during transition, and fully migrated to Mimecast. The result: fast, seven-second searches and mobile apps that attorneys use daily, a 66% increase in end-user capacity, a 66% reduction in IT administration time (from ~12 to <4 hours/month), and 100% archive availability with always-on mailbox continuity.
