Reasons to move away from an in-house Email Server.

26Jan2010

Hosted services in general have been taking the business world by storm in 2009. The whole concept of virtualisation has been gathering momentum like a rolling snowball and it is amazing how many enquiries we have received in such a short space of time.

But In 2009 Hosted Exchange services have really caught everyone's attention. The cost of purchasing an in house email server isn't cheap, and in the current climate businesses, especially SME's just cannot afford to spend out thousands of pounds on new hardware and software that will depreciate by 50% within 12 months of purchase.

This is where Hosted exchange becomes a complete no brainer for most businesses. There is no initial financial layout required as you do not need to purchase any hardware or software, the only financial commitment is a small monthly fee per user.

There are no sacrifices on service because a hosted exchange server has all the functionality of an in-house email server. You get to use public folders, share calendars, contacts and distribution lists. In fact you wouldn't know you were using a hosted server unless somebody told you.

There are no security risks either, as all connectivity from your location to our data centre is encrypted with the same technology used by the financial sector, so rest assure that your email is safe, secure and reliable.

In tough financial times, the hosted platform is a godsend. Think how much money you save just by  avoiding the purchase of a new server and the software licences that go with this, in fact think how much you will save on electricity bills!!

By the end of 2010 it is estimated that over 40% of businesses will be using some form of Hosted Services. Don't miss out  on the opportunity.
