In a press release last year, Microsoft identified three
ways in which Exchange 2010 could help businesses to reduce
costs and protect their communications:
Lower costs with more flexible deployment and management
options.
Exchange 2010 provides organisations with the same
enterprise-grade capabilities whether deployed on-premises
or as a service from Microsoft or partners - or as a mix of
both. Further, for customers deploying the server, the new
release simplifies the way organisations provide always-on
communications and disaster recovery, meaning administrators
spend less time managing their email system. Exchange 2010
further improves performance running on lower-cost
direct-attached storage, enabling organisations to
dramatically reduce storage costs by up to 85 percent
without sacrificing performance or reliability.
Protect information and meet compliance requirements with
the new email archive.
As email volume grows, companies must address increasing
compliance, legal and e-discovery concerns, but today,
according to Osterman Research, only 28 percent of
organisations currently archive their email content
(Osterman Research, 2008). Exchange 2010 introduces an
integrated email archive. The new solution makes it easier
to store and query email across the organisation using the
Exchange software that organisations already know and use.
Improve user productivity with the ultimate inbox experience.
Basex Inc. recently estimated that the average number of
corporate email messages received per person per day is
expected to reach more than 93 by 2010. In addition,
businesses lose $650 billion annually in productivity due to
unnecessary interruptions including those from email (Basex,
2008). Exchange 2010, together with Microsoft Outlook 2010,
will give people more control over their communications with
its exciting new features. |
