The power of partnerships: Mimecast, Microsoft and beyond
by Iain Davidson, Head of Enterprise Products

Sure Business maintains powerful partnerships with major tech titans including Microsoft, Mimecast, and Cisco. We work with such established companies, as well as many others, to give our clients access to the best products and solutions on the market.
Mimecast is one of our most notable partnerships, as the firm is one of the largest cybersecurity vendors in the world. Through our work with Mimecast, we provide the most secure solutions on the market, keeping our clients’ data safe from the ever-evolving threat of cyber criminals. Mimecast’s extensive infrastructure means our vast cybersecurity offering is backed up by a well-established firm, giving our clients a sense of reassurance that their data is in the safest hands possible.
Mimecast’s exceptional service and unmatched product offering is intertwined with the expertise of Sure Business’ own highly engaged professional team, who work with our clients to understand their needs and advise on and deliver the most appropriate products and solutions. Some of these products include email security and Microsoft Teams Archiving.
Earlier this year, I was very proud to see Sure Business win the Customer Excellence Partner of the Year award at the Mimecast Partner Awards. Mimecast has noted our team’s “energy and enthusiasm in helping solve customer problems – often going well above the call of duty to assist.” This award is a testament to what our skilled professionals can do when partnered with industry-leading specialist firms. We offer a 24/7 service and only escalate queries to Mimecast when absolutely necessary, preferring to use our qualified support engineers, all of which were highlighted in our award win.
However, it isn’t just our partnership with Mimecast that makes Sure Business the best full-service ICT provider in the Channel Islands. We also have a great relationship with Microsoft, perhaps the world’s best-known technology company. We work with Microsoft to provide our customers with unified communications products and solutions, giving them access to state-of-the-art instant messaging, voice, and video conferencing solutions, to name just a few of Microsoft’s immense suite of products.
Our unified comms and cybersecurity products and solutions are not just provided by Mimecast and Microsoft, however. We have a suite of partners working across these sectors to provide bespoke services that allow us to offer the broadest range of products and solutions possible, meeting even the most specific client needs. Other security partners include the likes of Trustwave and Cisco and our unified comms offering is underpinned by renowned partners like Mitel.
One of the fastest-developing areas in the ICT industry is the implementation of Cloud services. Sure Business works with the best partners on the market – such as Zerto, Vmware and Veeam – to deliver unmatched Cloud services, from data storage to Cloud voice software. The Cloud’s usability and versatility are becoming more ubiquitous by the day, which is why Sure Business works with a range of providers who consistently update their systems to keep pace with the evolving Cloud landscape.
Sure Business has invested in building the correct infrastructure to provide the Channel Islands with the most robust full-service ICT offering the territory has to offer. A major part of why we are so trusted is that we are backed up by some of the best-regarded Cloud, unified comms, and cybersecurity partners in the world. By working with us, your business can rest easy knowing its ICT requirements are supported by the global firms leading us into a new digital age.
