Case Study: Moffitt Cancer Center achieves consolidated email management, stronger security and $1M storage savings with Mimecast

Moffitt Cancer Center - Customer Case Study

Moffitt Cancer Center, a National Cancer Institute–designated Comprehensive Cancer Center in Tampa with 4,000+ email users and more than 325,000 patient visits annually, needed a more efficient, compliant way to manage email. Its small IT team was juggling three separate point products plus fragile PST-based archives, struggling with corrupt PSTs, time-consuming e-discovery, regulatory requests, and the lack of a formal disaster-recovery solution—while facing significant on-prem storage costs.

Moffitt chose Mimecast’s cloud-based email management to consolidate archiving, AS/AV, e-discovery, compliance, and disaster recovery under a single platform with ten-year retention. The implementation was smooth, immediately reduced spam, and earned positive executive feedback; it eliminated the need for more than $1 million in on-prem storage hardware, reduced IT burden, expanded disaster recovery capabilities, and put archiving live while PST migration continues.
