Case Study: Summit Homes Group achieves business continuity and compliant long-term email archiving with Mimecast

Summit Homes Group Builds On Mimecast Email Security And Archiving Solutions

Summit Homes Group, a Western Australia homebuilder that delivers around 1,000 homes a year with 300+ staff across 19 brands, faced an urgent email infrastructure challenge after an unexpected change in provider terms. The company needed an unlimited mailbox and robust archiving solution to handle large attachments, frequent staff turnover and strict industry rules to retain at least seven years of records (and often much longer) — including migrating in excess of five terabytes of existing mail data.

Summit selected Mimecast’s M2A service, working with a local systems integrator to quickly migrate the archive and deploy integrated email security, continuity and mailbox services. The result is searchable, long‑term archiving accessible even when users leave, seamless Outlook/Exchange/Office 365 integration, improved threat protection and the ability to switch to Mimecast during outages — delivering regulatory compliance, business continuity and local support.
