As MM Electrical Merchandising grew, so did pressure on its email storage. The company needed to integrate archiving for its Microsoft Exchange email system with Lotus Notes from a sister company, so it turned to Symantec solutions. Results include fast, transparent deployment, a reduction in email storage requirements, 6,000 AUD in cost avoidance, and the completion of email searches, which once took hours, in just minutes.
MM Electrical Merchandising (MMEM) is a major operator in the electrical wholesaling industry in Australia, with more than 2,100 employees staffing 197 service centres. Headquartered in North Rocks, a suburb of Sydney, the company is a subsidiary of Metal Manufactures Limited.
