Microsoft Exchange 2003 to 2007 Migration Planning Analysis

Free 90-minute Whiteboard Session with Akibia – Learn How to Leverage Process Efficiencies to Reduce Costs with Exchange 2007

With Microsoft discontinuing mainstream Exchange 2003 support on April 14th, 2009, Akibia can help you to plan a low risk, smooth migration from your current Exchange 2003 platform to Exchange 2007. Upgrading to Microsoft Exchange 2007 is not simply loading new software onto your current Exchange 2003 server and storage platform. Migrating to Exchange 2007 requires that organizations enhance their server platform and create a new messaging architecture in order to take advantage of the Microsoft Exchange 2007 capabilities to increase operation efficiencies and reduce costs.

While losing support of Exchange 2003 is compelling reason enough to upgrade, there are additional benefits as well, including enhanced security and encryption and other measures to ensure compliance, enhanced "anywhere access" and improved integration to leverage Unified Communications. Talk to your Akibia sales representative today to take advantage of the free 90 minute whiteboard session, or email Ryan Hanna to schedule a meeting.
