Independent, Expert Guidance for a Smooth Email Transition
Transitioning from Mimecast to Office 365, Google, or another email gateway doesn't have to be disruptive. At Cydaura, we help you plan, migrate, and optimise every step, ensuring business continuity, data integrity, and seamless user adoption.
When a New Email Gateway Becomes the Right Fit
As organisations evolve, so do their email security and collaboration needs. Whether driven by licensing decisions, consolidation of technology stacks, or a shift to cloud-native platforms like Office 365 or Google Workspace, many find themselves needing to decommission Mimecast and transition to a new solution. Done poorly, this can create email disruption, loss of critical data, or leave legacy configurations that introduce risks and confusion.
Recent Example:
In 2024, a prominent UK financial services firm faced a chaotic transition from Mimecast to Office 365, resulting in undelivered emails, broken TLS configurations, and users missing important messages. It took months to untangle, impacting customer confidence and regulatory compliance.
A Future Without Compromises
Imagine a smooth, transparent decommissioning and migration process where every configuration, policy, and data point is accounted for—seamlessly integrated into your new email environment. Your teams can continue their work uninterrupted, with clear visibility and control, while the risk of compliance or operational issues is minimised.
What It Takes to Get There
To achieve a seamless transition from Mimecast to Office 365, Google Workspace, or any other email gateway, you'll need:
- •Comprehensive Migration Planning: A holistic view of your current setup, data, policies, and workflows to develop a step-by-step plan that aligns with your business objectives and timelines.
- •Policy & Configuration Translation: Mapping legacy policies and security settings from Mimecast into the new platform—so you retain the same (or better) level of security and compliance.
- •Data Preservation Strategies: Ensuring all historical email, archives, and metadata are migrated safely, retaining accessibility and audit trails.
- •User Communication and Training: Clear, accessible communication with your users and stakeholders to ensure a smooth changeover and adoption.
- •Post-Migration Support: Dedicated support to handle any issues, adjustments, or optimisations needed after the migration completes.
