Virgin Active achieves 100% mail uptime with Mimecast

Virgin Active South Africa, a health club division of the Virgin Group, faced significant challenges with its complex email infrastructure built on Lotus Notes and Microsoft. The company experienced frequent outages, security risks from employees using personal Gmail accounts, and a heavy administrative burden. Needing a reliable and secure communication channel for its thousands of employees, Virgin Active turned to Mimecast for a solution.

Mimecast implemented a tailored email management solution that integrated with both Lotus Notes and Microsoft. The results were immediate, providing Virgin Active with 100% uptime since deployment. The solution dramatically reduced spam, blocking thousands of emails weekly, and provided powerful eDiscovery tools that cut the time to resolve disputes from days to minutes. Mimecast's security features ensured compliance and allowed the IT team to redeploy resources to more strategic projects.
