I like intermedia myself it has sharepoint and exchange and crm if you need it.
I don't like the MS online stuff because they run it through the Microsoft Messenger and if you logout of that then it drops credentials for Outlook and you have to re-login . From: Bob Fronk [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, March 17, 2011 9:24 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Hosted Exchange and file shares Good morning group(s) I have a small "on the side" client that I have been helping for a couple years. They are a small business with 5 users. They operate from their home and some remote users with an aging SBS2003 server. It is time to get them less reliant on me for support. I would like to eventually be totally out of the support picture for them. They are heavy Exchange / Outlook users. All the job information and customer requests come to them via email. They have some file share and file backup needs as well. Recent weather related extended power failures at the home (while they were away traveling for business) brought their work to a halt until I could re-route mail to a temporary server. They travel extensively while maintaining near constant contact with customers via email and cell phone. They have seen the "to the cloud" commercials and have begun to push for easier access to email and files from any location. I am looking at Microsoft Office 365 for them, but I am not sure they need all those services. (I signed up for a trail this morning to test it out). I know they want to keep Exchange/Outlook and want to be able to migrate current information into the hosted server and continue to use their email domain name. They want to be able to use OWA from any available PC, ActiveSync on iPhones and access important files from any PC, anywhere. I am not sure if they need something as complex as Office 365, but it seems to be the best fit from my limited research. I need to do more research on available products, however, I was hoping someone on these lists has used some similar online services or MSO 365 and could offer input from your experience. I welcome suggestions from the group.
