Mimosa Aims at Chinese Market for E-mail Archiving

Mimosa Systems (News - Alert), a provider of Live Content Archiving solutions, is expanding into the exploding Chinese market after signing a deal with Shenzhen Federal Software, a distributor of Microsoft (News - Alert) products, network appliances, software, and storage solutions with more than 12 years of experience in selling software for the Chinese market.
 
Shenzhen Federal Software will sell and support Mimosa’s Chinese version of Mimosa NearPoint, which is transforming the e-mail archiving market worldwide.
 
“In a short time, Mimosa has established itself as the technology leader and visionary in the content archiving space,” said Tommy Nham, regional sales director, Asia Pacific, Mimosa Systems. “Mimosa and Shenzhen Federal Software are working closely with Microsoft as Gold Certified Partners, providing comprehensive pre- and post-sales support and making significant investments in marketing to establish Mimosa as the premier provider of the industry’s most comprehensive content archiving for the Chinese market.”
 
China’s Basic Standard for Enterprise Internal Control will bring stronger corporate governance to China’s listed companies. The proposed regulations require new controls for publicly listed companies that can be managed with the Mimosa next-generation archiving solution.
 
“For Chinese companies preparing for compliance regulations, one of the greatest challenges they face is managing their exploding growth of email and documents,” said Yuanzhong Huang, CEO, Shenzhen Federal Software. “The Chinese market is eager for a next-generation content archiving solution such as NearPoint to help companies comply with the Basic Standard requirement, and to also help them to streamline their storage environment and lower costs.”
 
The Mimosa NearPoint platform enables companies to adopt best-in-class applications for content archiving, eDiscovery, retention management, regulatory compliance, content monitoring, data protection, disaster recovery and storage optimization in a unified solution. NearPoint gives enterprises a cost-effective and robust offering to perform intuitive searches, implement retention policies and provide data protection and business continuity to minimize risk across e-mail, files and backup tapes.
 
The NearPoint content archiving solution is delivering real value for hundreds of customers and partners across North America, Europe, Australia, Japan, China and India. More than 550 customers in healthcare, government, financial services, energy and other verticals have standardized on NearPoint.
 
According to IDC (News - Alert), the worldwide email archiving applications market grew 48 percent in 2007 over the last year driven by the need for email archiving to satisfy compliance, legal discovery, and storage optimization requirements. Archiving applications are a critical foundation of the legal discovery infrastructure platform market1, which IDC expects to approach more than $22 billion in 2012.
 
“Shenzhen Federal Software has all the attributes that make an exemplary partner for Mimosa as we continue our aggressive ramp up in China,” said T. M. Ravi, CEO, Mimosa Systems. “They have an excellent distribution system, 12 years of experience in product localization, and strong partnerships with large system integrators across China. They will ensure that our Chinese customers receive the first-class service and support that our customers worldwide demand from us.”
 
Mimosa was founded in 2003 and is based in Santa Clara, California, with offices in Germany, the United Kingdom, Japan, China, Australia, and India. For more information, see www.MimosaSystems.com.
