Case Study: Knight Frank achieves global, streamlined email archiving and disaster‑recovery resilience with Mimecast

Knight Frank replaces multiple products with a streamlined solution to meet the email archiving requirements of a global business

Knight Frank, the leading independent global property consultancy with 207 offices in 43 countries, faced the challenge of managing large volumes of email across a diverse, multinational group. They needed a consistent, resilient solution that combined anti‑spam/anti‑virus, archiving and disaster recovery while reducing complexity and supporting global compliance requirements.

Knight Frank replaced multiple products with Mimecast’s cloud‑based email platform, delivering centralized archiving, webmail, security and DR. Users gained fast archive search and better mailbox performance; IT benefited from unified management, quicker auditing and reduced support overhead. The solution enabled rapid failover during a local server outage, simplified global standardization and was judged a successful rollout for the organisation (3,168 users).
