Case Study: Cliffe Dekker Hofmeyr achieves simplified email archiving and mobile access with Mimecast

CDH makes more sense of cloud and mobility with Mimecast

Cliffe Dekker Hofmeyr (CDH) is one of South Africa’s largest business law firms, with hundreds of lawyers and 626 email users relying heavily on email for client work. The firm struggled with a cumbersome on-premises archive, high administrative overhead for mailbox management, and the need to support a highly mobile workforce that requires reliable, easy access to mail and archived information.

CDH adopted Mimecast UEM to move its archive to the cloud, offload storage pressure, and provide an intuitive web portal and mobile app that drove rapid user adoption. The result was reduced IT administration, improved user productivity and anytime/anywhere access across devices, seamless complementarity with an upcoming Office 365 rollout, and measurable operational and financial ROI.
