Case Study: Florida's Pasco County Government reduces public records request time with Mimecast

Florida's Pasco County Government cuts public records request time from weeks to hours with Mimecast

Pasco County Government faced a significant challenge complying with Florida's Sunshine Law due to its cumbersome email archiving process. Using PST files stored on DVDs, fulfilling public records requests took weeks and resulted in high cost estimates that discouraged citizens. This prompted its IT team, led by Enterprise Technology Manager Kristine Johnson, to seek a new solution, ultimately selecting a cloud-based service from vendor Mimecast.

By implementing Mimecast's email archiving solution, the county streamlined its process. The time required to fulfill public records requests was reduced from weeks to hours, eliminating all labor costs for citizens. The IT team's efficiency improved by one third, and the solution eliminated the need for PST file storage and Exchange restores. Mimecast provided these benefits at less than half the cost of the next-highest bid.
