Case Study: Mediclinic Southern Africa achieves secure, compliant mail management with Mimecast

Mediclinic Southern Africa cuts spam by 85% with Mimecast

Mediclinic Southern Africa, a private hospital group, faced significant challenges in managing its critical email environment. Its in-house archiving solution was becoming unsustainable due to high volumes of over five million emails per month, creating financial and infrastructure strain. The highly regulated medical sector required robust compliance and secure archiving to mitigate risks associated with administrative processes like patient admissions and insurance pre-authorizations. To address this, they turned to Mimecast for a cloud-based solution.

Mimecast implemented a secure cloud-based mail archiving and management service for Mediclinic. The results included a massive 85% reduction in spam, improving network performance and productivity. The powerful eDiscovery capabilities provided a substantial advantage in legal disputes and compliance hearings. Mimecast's solution also ensured brand alignment for thousands of users and offered a strong return on investment by strengthening governance processes and containing reputational risk for the globally active group.
