Thanks to all who attended the final installment of our March webinars, “Microsoft SharePoint: Spreading Corporate Knowledge.”  Once again, we had a great Q&A session at the end of Bill’s presentation.

For those of you who missed the beginning of the webinar, or simply want to enjoy the information again, you can download the PowerPoint presentation from this blog.

We had such a great turnout on Thursday at the webinar about Hosted Exchange 2007 - thanks to all who attended.

If you were not there, Bill Hagestad, who conducted the webinar, wrote up a great blog post detailing the cost effectiveness of using VISI’s Hosted Exchange 2007, rather than doing it in-house. Also, you can download the entire PowerPoint presentation right from this blog.

Good day!

The following post is about the cost effectiveness of VISI’s Hosted Exchange 2007 for your organization’s e-mail and communication needs.

Looking at the figures below, you’ll note that the sunk and recurring costs associated with attempting an in-house or ‘Do-It-Yourself’ Exchange 2007 project can be very expensive.

The software needed for your Exchange 2007 project as an initial investment can easily top $4,900. Hardware and installation run approximately $12,000; all in a non-redundant environment - meaning there are many single points of failure.

Finally, the administration costs, which include system administration and technical support, can easily cost $120,000 or more annually.

So far, the total sunk and recurring costs of an in-house Exchange 2007 project top out at over $137,000!

With VISI’s Hosted Exchange 2007 product, all of the administration and maintenance are taken care of for you.

In fact, based upon a 15 user scenario over one year using our Exchange 2007 product, your cost would only be $2,340 - a savings of over $135,000.00!

The icing on the cake is that VISI also provides complimentary Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) v 3.0 - a unique collaborative communication tool. (Keep an eye for more posts about this product.)

Ciao!
