This morning Sendmail announced a new strategic partnership with Mimecast that we think our customers will be really excited about as they consider different options for moving certain email functions to the cloud.
After discussions with many of our customers at our various User Summit’s and in our regular on-going interactions, we set out to find the best cloud email application provider that we felt could stand up to the complex email requirements of large businesses like theirs.
After much due diligence Sendmail chose to enter into a strategic partnership with Mimecast.
Why Mimecast?
Because we know large global businesses with complex messaging environments all have different needs, different ideas, and will make different choices about how they’ll deploy email and email management applications in the future–some of them will choose to move mailboxes to the cloud, some of them will not. Some will move AV/AS hygiene, archiving, or other email applications to the cloud while others of them will leave them on-premises.
What is clear is that it is unlikely going to be one or the other for most large companies. They know that Sendmail Sentrion’s are needed on-premises to manage and route email generated by on-premises applications and machines and to handle policy enforcement, among the many other things they rely on Sentrion to handle.
This means that you need a cloud application provider that can integrate and work hand-in-hand with Sentrion, and that is why we chose Mimecast as our cloud email application partner. Mimecast takes the same approach to email as Sentrion. Mimecast was built from the ground up, as a cloud platform with API’s to make integration with on-premises Sentrion’s seamless and secure.
We believe it made perfect sense to partner with Mimecast–Sendmail can now provide enterprises a full spectrum of in-cloud and on-premises email applications and the flexible choices required to meet their unique hybrid email architecture requirements.
