Hi guys,

I've been on these lists forever it seems (probably 18 years) but my job is 
less and less IT-related (being an owner of a small company with about 20 
employees and being involved in too many things.)

I went from being reasonably good with Exchange circa 2000 - 2006 to now 
knowing very little about it. I had a guy that was a trusted consultant that 
came in and helped me make the move from 2007 to 2010, but he has since gotten 
out of the consulting business.

If you're somewhat competent and familiar with Exchange, these lists are 
fantastic to help you fill in the gaps, and that's how I used them, but I'm 
looking for a company now that can, either remotely or onsite, evaluate my 
server, evaluate my goals and make things happen.

We have a really small amount of active users - honestly maybe a dozen active 
ones.

Problem is, some of those users are VERY active, and over the last 21 years, we 
have all accumulated mailboxes between 15 GB and 30 GB. Yes, I need to learn 
about Exchange archiving (we use Metalogix right now but that feels out of 
date...) Search times are very slow.

Anyway, I want to get my systems up to date and working faster and better. Who 
do people use when they want to be hand held and have someone really come in 
and do the work for them? Any big companies out there I should look at?

Thank you very much!

O365 with E3 licenses if you need litigation and archiving.

Alternatively if you have licensed office installs use an E1 license and the
