Case Study: Cliffe Dekker Hofmeyr improves email access and mobility with Mimecast

Cliffe Dekker Hofmeyr boosts mobile mail access for 626 users with Mimecast

Cliffe Dekker Hofmeyr, a large South African business law firm, faced challenges managing its complex email environment and cumbersome archive. Their incumbent system was difficult for users to navigate, creating a high volume of IT support requests, while also straining storage infrastructure. The firm needed a cloud-based solution to improve archiving, support its mobile workforce, and complement its planned move to Microsoft 365. They turned to Mimecast for email and collaboration threat protection services.

By implementing Mimecast's cloud-based archiving and mobile-access solutions, the firm simplified its mail environment. The intuitive portal led to almost instant user adoption, freeing IT resources from administrative burdens and mailbox management. Mimecast physically removed the substantial archive from the firm's infrastructure, alleviating storage pressure. The solution provided the legal professionals with easy, anytime, anywhere access to email from any device, supporting the firm's cloud and mobility strategy while delivering clear financial and operational value.
