Email security provider Mimecast has gone in hard in a bid to capitalise on the proposed sale of Symantec's enterprise division to Broadcom, offering customers of Symantec's MessageLabs email security cloud free email security risk assessments and other discounts.

Symantec has promoted Tim Bentley to the role of regional sales director for the Symantec.cloud business in the Pacific region.

Enterprise software provider TechnologyOne has appointed Paul MacRae as general manager for human resources and payroll - not to run those internal functions, but to lead the strategic direction of research and development, customer support, sales, marketing and consulting services across the human resources and payroll business line.
