Office 365 Enterprise

Mitigate the risks of moving to an Office 365 enterprise service

While moving to an Office 365 enterprise service makes good business sense, it also represents a risk. For all that it offers in terms of productivity, collaboration and predictable costs, Office 365 enterprise by itself can’t provide the multiple layers of security, continuity and data assurance that your on-premises solutions provide. Relying on Office 365 enterprise alone introduces a critical dependency on a single vendor and an added risk to email availability, security and disaster recovery.

For this reason, you may be considering third-party cloud service providers to achieve stronger security, better business continuity management and more robust archiving capabilities. But managing a disjointed array of point solutions only adds additional layers of cost and complexity.

As an all-in-one solution for email security, archiving and continuity, Mimecast perfectly complements the capabilities of Office 365 enterprise while reducing risk, lowering costs and simplifying Office 365 and Outlook email management.
