Case Study: Center Grove Community School Corporation streamlines e-discovery and unites email archiving and spam filtering with Mimecast

Mimecast helps Indiana public school system unite email archiving and spam filtering in the cloud

Center Grove Community School Corporation, an Indiana public school system serving about 7,700 students across eight campuses (≈1,200 email users), was struggling with a labor‑intensive e‑discovery process, an aging on‑premise archive that only retained email for 3–5 years, and a spam filter that users could access only on‑site. CTO Jason Taylor sought a single, cloud‑based platform to provide secure, scalable archiving, perpetual retention, easier e‑discovery, intuitive spam control, and seamless Office 365 integration.

Center Grove deployed Mimecast’s Unified Email Management suite, a quick one‑call transition that unified archiving and spam filtering in the cloud. The solution freed an estimated 50–75% of network engineering time, offered retention capabilities up to 99 years, empowered end users and legal counsel to run and export e‑discovery searches (reducing costs), and delivered accessible spam/malware protection via mobile controls—giving the district greater security, accessibility, and operational confidence.
