New UK Office to Serve as Central Hub to Deliver Mimosa NearPoint Solution to Customers and Channel Partners Across Northern Europe
Santa Clara, Calif. — January 23, 2008 — Mimosa Systems™, a leading provider of Live Content Archiving solutions, today announced that it has expanded operations in Northern Europe, opening new offices in Reading, United Kingdom (UK). The move is a direct response to fast-growing European demand for Mimosa™ NearPoint™ software, which is transforming the content archiving market worldwide.
Mimosa has appointed Brian Bennett as managing director of Northern Europe to drive enterprise sales in the region. Bennett brings a deep understanding of the archiving and eDiscovery market and will leverage his domain expertise to build a strategic channel presence to meet the burgeoning demand for Mimosa's information archiving solution. Before joining Mimosa, Bennett served at ZANTAZ, Inc. where he was responsible for sales of both licensed and Saas email archiving and discovery applications.
Dealing with a Complex Compliance Picture
Businesses in the UK and Northern Europe are dealing with many of the same issues as those in the U.S., including legal and regulatory compliance and the ever-growing data storage requirements. But European companies have a number of additional concerns driving their need for an effective Live Content Archiving solution. Across the continent, businesses are facing challenges around Data Privacy, Subject Access Requests and the Freedom of Information Act. And the increasingly complex European compliance environment—with a constant stream of regulations coming from both the European Union and individual countries demands an effective next-generation solution like Mimosa NearPoint.
"The technical superiority of the NearPoint next-generation technology delivers unrivalled end-user benefits that have enabled Mimosa to aggressively capture marketshare worldwide,” said Brian Bennett, managing director of Northern Europe for Mimosa. “I'm excited to play a part in Mimosa's phenomenal growth and bring the unique benefits of NearPoint to the market in Northern Europe to meet the demands for a fully integrated and truly scalable solution for content archiving, compliance, eDiscovery and business continuity."
Mimosa NearPoint addresses critical customer requirements for e-mail information archiving, eDiscovery, regulatory compliance, data protection, disaster recovery and storage optimization. The solution enables litigation readiness, business continuity and end-user search while reducing overall operational costs.
Microsoft has recognized Mimosa's critical role in the current archiving and eDiscovery landscape on a number of levels. The global giant named Mimosa one of 12 Platinum Launch sponsors for the Microsoft “Ready for a New Day” launch event for Windows Vista, Microsoft Office and Exchange Server 2007. In addition, the company has attained Gold Certified status in the Microsoft Partner Program, with competencies in Advanced Infrastructure Solutions, Networking Infrastructure Solutions and ISV/Software Solutions. These competencies demonstrate expertise with Microsoft technologies and a proven ability to meet customers' needs.
“Businesses everywhere are realizing they need an effective content archiving solution if they are to compete effectively on the world stage,” said Christophe Culine, senior vice president worldwide sales of Mimosa. “Our expansion efforts mark an important inflection point for us as a company as we deliver the most comprehensive information archiving solution to support our growing list of customers and resellers in Europe and Asia Pacific regions.”
