Migrating to Exchange 2007 Today - Your Company Will Give You a Raise

Is it time to do an exchange 2007 migration? Why would you do a exchange
2007 migration? Of course if you are looking for new features this would be a
great reason. Perhaps your Exchange 5.5 box or Exchange 2000 box is overload or
you have a crashed server? Then migrating would be a great choice instead of
putting money back into the box aka server and spending this money towards a new
software technology that will help your company grow.

Microsoft has certain kept up with their promise to deliver new products and
more features. As computers get faster for less money, hard drive space is 50
cents a gigabyte you can now do more for less.

Exchange 5.5 was the first
Microsoft Email server that was truly ready for prime time. At least back in the
day when pop3 and SMTP where all the rage. Soon Microsoft went to Active
Directory and integrating email and users was the next big step. Of course they
added major features such as outlook web access or OWA and made the server more
safe and secure.

Exchange Server 2000 came and
Microsoft had an integrated product with its touted Active Directory product or
AD. Now users could experience the wonders of OWA, AD, group policies and a
larger private information store. What else could you want.

Exchange Server 2003 was yet
another accomplishment for the software giant Microsoft. Not only was this
integrated into Active Directory, but had some really useful features such as
cache mode, Mobil integration with PDA phones, a stronger and more reliable
information store. This Exchange server combined with Microsoft's email client
Outlook 2003 gave them a solid product. OWA looks the same is the local client
Outlook 2003. Spam control is stronger and out of the box the product can
compete with Oracle, Novell, Linux, etc. No what else can Microsoft come up
with?

In Exchange Server 2007 you can access
important inbox information from virtually anywhere using their desktop
computer, laptop computer, a browser window from any Internet-connected
computer, mobile device, and even using a basic telephone when no Internet
connectivity is available. It's all built in with centralized management and
robust security, making rich anywhere access possible. Exchange Server 2007
provides integrated antivirus, anti-spam and anti-phishing technologies.
Multi-pronged message filtering in the perimeter network is available through
the Edge Transport server role. Exchange Server 2007 incorporates features
specifically designed to help your business comply with corporate, regulatory,
and legal requirements. Better administration via a new command line interface
gives administrators complete, fine-grained control over Exchange objects as
well as the power to easily automate all types of operations with scripts. In
addition, the graphical management console has been completely updated, with a
more intuitive user interface, improved discoverability and a toolbox work
center that integrates diagnostics, monitoring, and troubleshooting tools
including the Exchange Best Practices Analyzer and the Exchange Troubleshooting
Assistant.
