Mimosa Systems, Inc. has expanded its European operations with a new office in Boulogne Billancourt, Paris, France. Escalating demand for the comprehensive email and file archiving solution, Mimosa NearPoint, continues to drive growth for Mimosa Systems worldwide. The new French office will serve as the company’s headquarters for Southern Europe that will also cover Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece and North Africa.

To extend its reach into Southern Europe, Mimosa has appointed Stephane Dorchin to manage the new French office. Stephane previously served at Symantec and HP and brings years of email archiving experience.

“Mimosa has established itself as the technology leader and visionary in the email archiving space by working closely with Microsoft as a Gold Certified Partner and with tier one channel partners,” said Stephane Dorchin. “We look forward to expanding our presence across the region with leading channel partners including Alsy, Avanade, Cheops, Exakis, Exclusive Networks and Optrium.”

“We are pleased to partner with Mimosa Systems to introduce its innovative and successful archiving solutions to the French market,” said Antoine Berthier, CEO of Optrium, leader in archiving solutions integration. “With Mimosa we have introduced alternative solutions with integrated Optrium services that address customer challenges around the growth of email and file systems, upgrading of email systems, and this new technology is able also to absorb the files already archived.”

Mimosa NearPoint is a unified archiving solution that addresses critical customer requirements around email, file, instant messages and SharePoint content. Mimosa NearPoint for Exchange provides email archiving, mailbox management, immediate mailbox and message recovery, ‘one-click’ disaster recovery, and end-user search in a single solution.

The association of the first world integrator of Microsoft solutions and of a technology as innovative as NearPoint, enables us to bring to our customers a controlled, perennial solution and with a strong added value for their structure, their users and their business,” declared Nicolas Marry, business director of Avanade France.
