Before Mimecast, Au Bon Pain archived email onto tapes stored off-site, which was cumbersome and costly. Retrieving email from tape “could take weeks and cost thousands of dollars – as much as $10,000 per request,” according to Abrams. With Mimecast in place, Au Bon Pain benefits from an easy and automated retrieval process which it claims has reduced the time needed for e-discovery from weeks to hours. As the relationship continues to expand, Au Bon Pain plans to use the Mimecast cloud-based continuity service. This will help ensure users continue to have access to their email even in the event of an outage or challenge of its own email system. This failover capability is combined with the Mimecast Mobile Access service to give users secure access to their email and archive via a smartphone at all times helping ensure the business and cafes remain fully operational even if they suffer a main email outage. “With Mimecast, we will have cloud-based replication of our email system to ensure a seamless failover in the event of an outage,” said Abrams. “If we opted for on-premise replication, we estimate that it would have cost us as much as $100,000. Mimecast has exceeded our expectations in every way.” To learn more about Au Bon Pain’s experience with Mimecast, download the case study (http://info.mimecast.com/ About Mimecast Mimecast (www.mimecast.com) Mimecast social media resources • LinkedIn: Mimecast • Facebook: Mimecast • Twitter: @mimecast • Blog: Challenging Complexity About Au Bon Pain Founded in 1978, Au Bon Pain (“the place of good bread”) has grown into an internationally recognized leader in the fast casual restaurant category.
