The Radicati Group Releases New Study "Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 - Total Cost of Ownership"
An Analysis of the Costs of Running Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 in Enterprise Organizations
PALO ALTO, CA--(Marketwire - April 21, 2008) - The Radicati Group, Inc., a leading market
research firm specializing in messaging and collaboration, today released a
new study analyzing the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of running Microsoft
Exchange Server 2007 in 19 corporate organizations. Based on detailed
surveys with 12 mid-size organizations in the 500 to 2,500 user range, and
7 large organizations in the 4,500 plus user range, the study provides an
in-depth look at the costs involved in the deployment of Microsoft Exchange
Server 2007.
The study looks at all major components of cost, including: Acquisition
costs, annual Maintenance contracts, Installation costs, on-going
Administration costs, Downtime costs, Training and Storage costs. It also
provides summary information on deployment of third party products for
anti-spam, anti-virus and wireless email.
Organizations surveyed indicated that their decision to migrate to
Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 was driven by a desire for better economies
of scale, improved security, support for clustering and replication, native
support for wireless "push" email and a desire to eventually adopt Unified
Communications.
The study was funded in full by The Radicati Group. To order a copy of the
study, or for additional information, please visit our web site at
