Case Study: Hill Dickinson achieves seamless email continuity with Mimecast

Hill Dickinson transfers 175 email accounts in one weekend with Mimecast

Hill Dickinson, a leading commercial law firm, faced the challenge of maintaining seamless email continuity during the complex acquisition of Halliwells and a major migration from Novell GroupWise to Outlook with Exchange. They needed to integrate 175 new staff over a single weekend while ensuring no disruption to client service and managing differing email data retention policies. The firm turned to vendor Mimecast and its cloud-based email management service to address this.

Mimecast provided a solution that enabled the fast redirection of specific email accounts being acquired, ensuring business continuity and client confidentiality. The implementation allowed new staff to be operational immediately with no disruption. Mimecast also supported the firm's subsequent email migration, mitigating risk with its always-on web access. This cloud-based solution freed up the IT team to focus on other strategic projects, supporting the firm's ongoing expansion.
