Case Study: Tourvest Travel Services achieves significant spam reduction and resilient email continuity with Mimecast UEM

Leading Tourism Group employs Mimecast UEM™ to reduce spam and improve business continuity

Tourvest, the leading tourism group in Southern Africa with about 1,000 email users across divisions such as Duty Free, Travel Services and Foreign Exchange, faced escalating spam volumes and a need for stronger business continuity and email-archiving capabilities. The company sought an effective content-filtering solution to reduce unwanted email traffic, lower bandwidth costs, and provide quick, reliable access to archived messages for compliance and dispute resolution.

Tourvest deployed Mimecast UEM in a week, using Mimecast’s ARMed SMTP and ZHARA filters to block spam “on the wire” before it entered the network and to archive mail offsite across three locations. The result: reduced bandwidth and administrative overhead, no email downtime during migration, secure searchable archives (up to ten years) without additional hardware, improved disaster recovery and compliance, and measurable time and cost savings for IT.
