Case Study: Au Bon Pain Café Bakery streamlines email archiving and avoids $100K infrastructure spend with Mimecast

Au Bon Pain Cafe Bakery cuts email retrieval from weeks to under an hour with Mimecast

Au Bon Pain Café Bakery, a company with over 300 locations, faced a significant challenge when its email anti-spam and anti-virus service, Google Postini, was being retired. They relied heavily on email and needed a replacement that could also provide better email archiving, retrieval, and security capabilities. The company began searching for a new vendor and selected Mimecast for its Unified Email Management solution.

By implementing Mimecast, Au Bon Pain gained a cloud-based solution for archiving, continuity, and security. The results were substantial, including reducing the time for e-discovery from weeks to under an hour, saving over $10,000 per request. Mimecast also blocked more spam, improved network performance, and provided seamless email failover capabilities, which avoided a $100,000 spend on replication infrastructure. The IT team became more efficient, and the company gained peace of mind with a more robust email system.
