Business Situation
Matthews International currently has about 1,400 PC users, 350 Mac users, and more than 150 mobile phones, all requiring email management.

"Not only were both figures far too high, but they also represented inefficiencies and a high cost for mainframe capacity." They made a decision to identify and install the best email archiving solution they could find to meet their main requirements.

Mimosa Solution
Matthews International selected Mimosa NearPoint to address all of its email archiving needs.

Business Situation
Adomo, Inc. provider of voice messaging and unified communications solutions that enable organizations to more smoothly migrate to VoIP and wireless technologies, was shopping for an email management solution.

"I was looking for a solution that would provide seamless access to data as well as perform archiving and recovery. We've tried brick-level backups but the impact on the Exchange server and the time it took did not make it a viable solution-we were looking for a complete solution to handle email management, archiving and recovery without any impact on Exchange."

Business Situation
Microsoft Exchange Server is an important communication tool for The Siegfried Group. The Siegfried group operates in 27 cities spread across the US and the majority of the company's employees are either remote or mobile. After three years of rapid growth, The Siegfried Group's total email data for 600 users had quickly grown to over 250GB. Frank McGurk, who manages the Exchange Servers for Siegfried Group, sought to reduce and enhance management of its total Exchange storage. "The primary reason I contacted Mimosa was performance," said Frank. "We had huge Exchange Stores. We could throw more servers and storage at Exchange, but did we really want to maintain 7 GB mailboxes? We went over all the variables and we decided our best solution was to reduce mailbox size."

Mimosa Solution
The Siegfried Group deployed Mimosa NearPoint email archiving solution to reduce overall Exchange storage requirements by extending attachments to the archive, while maintaining seamless access to all email information for end users.
