Microsoft Exchange Migration
At the end of June 2004, Microsoft ended support for Exchange 5.5 and NT v4. If
you are currently running Exchange 5.5 then the natural option may be to upgrade
to Exchange 2003 but that route is costly and painful. First of all you may need
new hardware, Exchange 2003 requires more power and you will need Windows 2000 or
2003 operating system. Secondly, you will need to install Active Directory, which
is a major implementation project plus you will then have the problem of ongoing
maintenance. Thirdly, you will be locked into expensive, ongoing licence payments.
Not forgetting of course, that Exchange is the primary target for virus writers!
The alternative is to use Syan’s exchange2domino service
to convert to a Lotus Domino solution saving you from both the cost and the pain.
An example of this is the conversion that Syan completed for Anglo Beef Processors
whose 5 year Total Cost of Ownership study showed that the Domino solution will
reduce their costs by over 60%.
