Admin headaches

• Administrative burden: 22.8 hours per week for Exchange server 20071

• Downtime: 60-150 minutes planned and unscheduled per month2

• Opportunity cost: time spent maintaining email could be used for more strategic projects

User limitations

• Limited storage: time wasted managing to mailbox quotas

• Slow search: users folder and sort email due to poor search and email archives are less useful

• Poor collaboration experience: limited real-time capabilities; no native sharing
