Case Study: Cape Union Mart achieves secure, cloud-based unified email management with Mimecast

Cape Union Mart takes to the cloud with Mimecast

Cape Union Mart is a South African outdoor retail group (five brands, ~150 stores across South Africa, Botswana and Namibia) that relies heavily on email for coordination across its network. Its legacy archiving system was draining infrastructure and productivity, creating risks around data loss, retrieval, governance and business continuity for roughly 400 email users.

The company deployed Mimecast’s Unified Email Management (UEM) with implementation support from ITCS — a single cloud service combining security, continuity and archiving, managed via a central web console and accessible from any device. The rapid, seamless rollout delivered 100% availability, sharply reduced spam and malware, ensured secure, easily retrievable archives for compliance and litigation, and lowered infrastructure costs while mitigating email-related risk.
