Exchange Server 2010 Launches
IT organizations are under pressure to deliver like never before. Security, availability, and compliance requirements are more intense than ever. Within this challenging environment, Exchange 2010 delivers, first by delighting end users and making them more productive. Exchange 2010 is available anywhere via Outlook – on the PC, phone, or browser. Second, Exchange 2010 delivers great innovation for the end user with new capabilities, including Voice Mail Preview, SMS Text Messaging, MailTips, Conversation View, Call Answering Rules and more. Third, Exchange 2010 delivers by helping customers protect their communications, giving IT the ability to encrypt messages based on sender, receiver or even the content of the message and attachments. Also with the latest release of Forefront Protection for Exchange, IT can add an additional layer of security on top of what is built-in to Exchange 2010.
Beyond just helping customers improve their productivity, Exchange helps them save money. Organizations around the world are reporting cost savings of up to 70%, and employee productivity gains of greater than one hour per week, per employee. For example, UK-based NEC Phillips is experiencing email storage cost savings of 70%, and simultaneously they are providing end users with eight times more mailbox storage. US-based TriWest Healthcare Alliance is saving approximately $250,000 with Exchange 2010 by avoiding the cost of purchasing an independent archiving and retention system. Industry analysts validate this level of return. Today, Forrester released “Total Economic Impact” study which concludes organizations can expect a payback period of less than six months with Exchange 2010.
This release marks a significant step in our ongoing efforts to fully embrace software-plus-services. Just last week, we announced our amazing progress toward helping organizations efficiently manage email by moving all or some of their users to the cloud. Exchange Online as part of the Microsoft Business Productivity Online Suite (BPOS) is now available in 36 countries and regions. In recent months, some of the world’s most recognizable brands have joined the list of satisfied customers, organizations such as Aon Corporation, Glaxo Smith Klein, Lions Gate Entertainment, McDonald’s Corporation, University of Ohio and many others.
Each product release provides a moment for reflection and celebration. To initiate this process, I would like to extend my personal congratulations to the entire Exchange team. I encourage you to experience our launch event and to learn more about Exchange Server 2010 by visiting our virtual launch site.
