Case Study: Miles & Stockbridge achieves unified, secure, and lower-cost email management with Mimecast

Law firm evaluates the rising cost of in-house email solutions

Miles & Stockbridge, a Baltimore-based law firm with eight offices, was struggling with amplified email risks and rising costs: multiple disparate Exchange stores and four separate in‑house applications that only addressed parts of archiving, stubbing, continuity and filtering. With a strict “keep everything forever” retention policy, escalating compliance and security demands and a small IT team, the firm faced unsustainable infrastructure, management overhead and performance issues.

The firm moved to Mimecast Unified Email Management, a cloud SaaS that consolidated archiving, continuity, security and storage into a single service deployed in 48 hours. Mimecast eliminated on‑prem servers and software, cut software costs by roughly 50%, dramatically reduced administration time, improved reporting and support, and — according to the CIO — has already paid for itself.
