Hosted Exchange Services
Increasingly, email has become the preferred way of doing business. Clients, employees, and managers expect rich, efficient and secure access to email, calendars, and attachments, contacts – regardless of location or type of device being used. Microsoft Exchange offers businesses the communication tools they need to compete effectively in a fast paced marketplace. The challenge then becomes satisfying these requirements without breaking the bank. Microsoft Exchange services hosted internally gives your organization the technology needed, however they also require internal expertise to implement and maintain. That’s why Netgain’s Hosted Microsoft Exchange service offers a cost-effective technology solution that guarantees access to Enterprise-class services without the corresponding maintenance issues. Consider these following draw backs to an internal deployment:
Internal Exchange Deployments Draw Backs
Large Capital Outlay:
In-house email hosting services require large initial capital outlay and dedicated staff to implement, maintain, and upgrade.
Complexity:
Enterprise-class services are too complex, too costly, and too risky to implement for small and medium sized businesses.
Extensive Maintenance:
In-house services require extensive maintenance to remain properly functioning with the appropriate amount of up-time.
Mobility:
It isn’t cost effective to have a dedicated service for a small number of users on an in-house email service.
