Exchange & Outlook

A new study shows that large organizations can substantially boost their return on investment by switching from legacy messaging systems to Microsoft Exchange Server. The survey of 26 large organizations, conducted by Giga information Group, found that migrating to Exchange Server from legacy mail environments such as Lotus cc:Mail and Microsoft Mail provides companies with average annual savings of $2,393 per employee.

Exchange & Outlook

Microsoft, which announced the results of the survey in September at the Microsoft Exchange Conference ‘98, said the savings are due to lower budgeted costs, lower indirect costs associated with downtime, and less need for end-user peer support, and employee productivity gains.

Exchange & Outlook

“Customers are clearly benefiting from their investments in the superior messaging infrastructure with Microsoft Exchange and Outlook,” said Rich Tong, Vice President, Applications Product Management at Microsoft. “This study confirms how important reliability is for the messaging infrastructure, and the business benefits of a reliable, cost-effective messaging system.”

Exchange & Outlook

The installed base of Exchange Server has grown by more than 200 percent since this time last year, with more than 16.6 million users currently making Exchange Server and the Outlook 98 messaging and collaboration client their messaging system of choice.
