Many messaging professionals believe that by moving toward a hosted messaging model they will increase their costs, give up flexibility in the way their system is managed and expose their critical messaging data to the outside world.
However, a recent analysis by Osterman Research revealed that in most cases firms that employ hosted Exchange experience just the opposite. Organizations that are using the hosted model for managing their messaging system realize significant benefits in functionality, security, reduced cost of ownership and the ability to re-deploy IT staff to projects that provide greater value to the organization.
What are some of the main benefits of hosted messaging in general and hosted Exchange in particular? What does a typical organization experience and learn in evaluating and implementing hosted messaging and management for their organization? How can hosted messaging lower the total cost of ownership for messaging?

This webinar will also include an in-depth case study of how Sunoco chose and implemented its hosted Exchange solution.
