Case Study: Vistaprint achieves a unified global email experience and stronger security with Mimecast

Vistaprint leverages Mimecast and Office 365 to provide one global user experience

Vistaprint, a global custom-printing company with over 8,000 email users, relied heavily on email to coordinate production and deliver a consistent customer experience as it scaled to $1.8 billion in revenue. Rapid growth and richer HTML messages drove daily email volume from about 5,000 to as many as 70,000–80,000 messages, exposing limits in legacy archiving, security and mailbox infrastructure and creating compliance and management headaches.

Vistaprint replaced its aging archiving and messaging-security stack with Mimecast Cloud Archive and Targeted Threat Protection, then migrated mail to Office 365 (hosted in Switzerland) while connecting to Mimecast’s grid. The combined solution improved security and data governance, eliminated nightly backups and multiple on-prem servers, made archives searchable from Outlook or the web (reducing PST use), and significantly reduced mail-management overhead.
