“Providing a high-value customer experience entails so much more than just supporting market-leading technology with superior customer service,” said Heather Bentley, senior vice president customer success and support at Mimecast. “It includes building customer-centric relationships, providing strong support, delivering simplified deployment models, and helping our customers generate immediate return on their investment. Most importantly, it means treating each and every customer experience as a true partnership. We strive to do each of these things every day, and these two ‘Champion’ recognitions by SoftwareReviews tell us our customers believe we’re getting it right across the board.”
