Mimecast signs Cloud On Demand for Africa

With cloud adoption gaining currency in the South African market, and is expected to expand into the rest of Africa, Mimecast and Cloud On Demand expanded their partnership to cover the entire African continent.

Bernadine Joaquim, Channel Manager at Mimecast South Africa, said, “As a both a partner and customer of ours, Cloud On Demand recognises the benefits Mimecast brings to its business as well as to its diverse customer base. Our partnership with Cloud On Demand has evolved over the years, and the company’s commitment to developing its business is well matched to our consistent focus on innovation.”

With a significant presence in the South African market, Mimecast, a leader in enterprise cloud services for the protection and management of e-mail and corporate data, took the opportunity to partner with Cloud On Demand and expand its footprint into the rest of Africa.

“Cloud adoption is rapidly rising in Africa with many companies leapfrogging the steps that other markets have taken to get to the cloud,” says Jonathan Kropf, CEO of Cloud On Demand. “This opens up a massive opportunity for us and our partners to provide world-class solutions to customers looking to utilise the cloud for their critical applications.”

“Partnering with Cloud On Demand across a diverse set of markets including Kenya, Ghana, Nigeria, Namibia, Malawi, Zambia and Mauritius, presents an incredible opportunity for us to deliver our business solutions to a broader and largely untouched community,” concludes Joaquim.

Mimecast and Cloud On Demand expect this partnership to continue innovation and development together in order to deliver meaningful business solutions to the growing business landscape throughout Africa.
