Case Study: Johannesburg City Parks achieves streamlined email management and IT time savings with Mimecast

Mimecast helps keep Johannesburg lush and leafy

Johannesburg City Parks, which manages 22,278 hectares of parks, trees, trails and cemeteries across the city, relies heavily on email for daily operations across 300 users. The IT team faced a major administrative burden—manually monitoring quarantines and managing large mailboxes—which consumed significant time and threatened work continuity.

Mimecast’s cloud-based email security, archiving and continuity solution introduced “on the wire” filtering (ARMed SMTP), removed the need for quarantines, and provided instant archive search and ECT Act-compliant retrieval. The result: reduced bandwidth and spam, lower costs, eliminated hours of daily email administration, stronger security and data protection, and freed IT to focus on strategic projects and business continuity.
