E-mail has become absolutely critical to those who use it. Business agility often requires companies to scale up or down at the drop of a hat. Free email solutions may not have all the features a business needs and also small companies cannot afford an IT guy to provision a sophisticated business messaging system. The approach to this issue is to move your email to a hosted exchange solution. Below are five reasons why you should do so.
Hosted exchange is billed on a per seat basis as a result your organization can plan for all costs related to maintaining the exchange environment. Since the vendor maintains the environment, there are no costly IT guys to consult during a major issue or outage.
All management features are programmed into an easy to use web based user interface. Users and features can by added quickly and easily. No need to learn powershell commands or the EMC.
A hosted exchange environment will save your organization a tremendous amount of money. There are no servers or equipment to purchase, which means your organization can get up and running without a huge capital investment. You hosting provider will handle all maintenance, upgrade, and support which means you don’t have to pay an IT guy to maintain your environment.
4. Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery
Most hosted exchange providers can guarantee that your environment will be available 99.9% of the time. This means that you can count on your environment being available almost 24/7. Most on premise deployments can never ensure an uptime percentage such as this.
Having your exchange hosted in the cloud means that your information is available from anywhere. In addition to this, your data will be consistent across desktops, tablets, and mobile phones.
Overall a Hosted Exchange solution will allow your company to do more while paying less than what it would cost to maintain a on premise environment. These feature rich solutions will allow your company to communicate and collaborate with out the costly headaches.
