Email & Messaging
The real enterprise process automation and workflow backbone.
- E-mail is mission critical infrastructure. Platform changes have significant impact on the enterprise, both upgrades of existing platforms and migration to a new platform.
- Most organizations will not realize full ROI from an e-mail platform for 5-6 years. Microsoft releases new versions of Exchange every three years, twice as frequently as most organizations should be upgrading.
- New delivery methods, like SaaS, offer organizations new options for licensing and operating e-mail systems. Small organizations in particular are going to find it less feasible to operate their own e-mail systems on-premises.

Select an E-Mail Archiving Solution
Whether because of compliance or storage, that e-mail has got to go.
Select an E-Mail Archiving Solution
Regulatory requirements for some industries demand that e-mails concerning regulatory-related processes be retained for a specified period. All industries are required to surrender e-mail records at any time a judicial discovery order is issued, and many organizations are considering e-mail archiving as a cheaper near-term e-mail storage option.
Decide If I Should Upgrade my E-mail Platform
E-Mail vendors release significant platform upgrades more often than organizations need to upgrade, creating pressure to upgrade twice as frequently as upgrades are really warranted.

Storyboard: Make the Decision to Upgrade to MS Exchange 2010
With the November 2009 release of Exchange 2010, Microsoft has brought major changes to its cornerstone unified communications product. Use this research to determine if you should upgrade to Exchange 2010 and if you should use an on-demand, on-premise or hosted deployment method.
Infrastructure Impact of Exchange 2010
Exchange Server 2010 was released hot on the heels of Exchange Server 2007 SP2. While many enterprises are still running Exchange 2003, Microsoft is betting that those organizations are ready and willing to upgrade. Exchange 2003 shops need to prepare and plan for a major architectural change.
Exchange Server 2010: Off-Premise or On-Premise?
Large enterprises looking to upgrade to Exchange 2010 should consider deployment options beyond on-premise. Small and mid-size companies facing the upgrade to Exchange 2010 should not make the mistake of assuming an in-house upgrade path is the only, or best, option. Let the possibility of transferred risk, service gains, and cost savings steer the enterprise toward an off-premise solution.

What's New in Exchange 2010?
Exchange 2010 is a radical re-architecting of the Microsoft flagship e-mail platform. New features include on-premise and/or hosted deployment, major operational improvements and e-mail archiving. However, most organizations find the drastic reduction in storage costs to be the biggest reason for upgrading. Organizations running Exchange 2003 should upgrade to Exchange 2010 immediately, while those still on Exchange 2007 should wait.
Exchange 2010: Don't Upgrade for E-Mail Archiving Alone
Microsoft Exchange 2010 has a new premium archiving option with a substantial feature set. However larger organizations with compliance requirements beyond e-mail will still want to examine best-of-class enterprise archiving solutions. Don't upgrade to Exchange 2010 just for the new archiving.
