Hosted Exchange
Typical Business Challenges
Are we spending too much IT budget on email hardware,
security, licenses, upgrades and maintenance?
Is our email fully compatible with all our remote
and mobile employees’ personal devices?
Is our email platform meeting all regulatory
compliance requirements for security, archiving
and encryption?
Since email is our primary communications
method, how do I make sure its always up and
running with my limited IT staff, and how do I
provide backup protection?
Is my email secure from virus attacks and
spam?
Does our email enable maximum employee
productivity and collaboration?
How can I reduce the complexities
associated with managing our own
email service?
The Gartner Position on Cloud Email:
June 1, 2012
• Staff redeployment. Cloud email typically requires one-quarter
to one-half of the staff required to manage on-premises email.
Resources that are freed up by the move to cloud email are
typically reassigned to duties which return more value to the
organization.
• Economics. For organizations under 10,000 seats, cloud email
can be less expensive than on-premises email by about 25%.
• Complexity avoidance. Email is getting more complex as
demands for mobility, redundancy, port 25 (SMTP) protection
and storage are rapidly increasing. Cloud email enables
organizations to avoid some of the growing operational
complexity of email.
