Re: Convincing the boss to move to Exchange



Actually you're "small organization" isn't really that small and fits
perfectly into the Small Business Server arena (including the use of
Exchange 2003).

What 3rd party software are you looking at? (POP3 software?)
Will you be hosting your own mail server or having your mail hosted at a 3rd
party (like you ISP)?
How do you back up your mail (or how will you back it up with your 3rd party
software)?
What kind of "admin time" fears does he have? (are these based on some past
bad experience)?

Folks,

We are a small organization (35 users) and are using SBS 2003, and I want
to convince the boss that Exchange is what we should do. He wants shared
calendaring, but is concerned about the admin time required for Exchange,
and
has me looking for 3rd party software. I have a meeting with him next
week.
What arguments would you use to move to Exchange? He travels a lot, and I
have told him he can have access to all of his mail from anywhere, but
he's
not convinced about that. Any advice?

Mike
