asked on Google Apps/Hosted Exchange
Hi
I am currently reviewing our companies email requirements. We have recently bought some other companies and i am looking at a way of integrating all the email.
up to 6 of our sites use there own independant exchange solution ie its local to them and they work away its nice and fast in terms of user access but control is a problem as its not centalised and backups etc can be a pain, some of the new sites just use pop email but have lots and lots of the stuff.....
Traditionally we would have taken the approach to go out and buy some new hardware and put exchange on there and host that box at our HQ and have all other sites connect to it, but im interested in peoples opinion here and what technology is out there now for situations such as this.

SatyaPathak,
You would be foolish to stick with Mailstreet. GoogleApps gives you the capability to use on Blackberry's, Droids, or any other data enabled phone. Also, why pay $25/month when you can pay $50/year per user???? Plus, Google Apps gives you 25GB of storage space. That is more than anyone of your users could POSSIBLY use up their email for the next 10 years with high volume usage. Photographers would still take 3 years to fill up their inbox! The best out their in GoogleApps implementation is http://www.cloudsherpas.com/ and http://www.ltech.com/.
Our company moved to Google Apps. Now we saves hundreds of thousands of dollars on no longer needed EMC Clarion storage. No more Exchange is down crap. We save on the licenses of Outlook since we opted that just using the Firefox/GoogleApps/Interne
Move to GoogleApps. It saved my company so much money it is ridiculous. We got rid of the 3 Exchange administrator's and at $87,000 per year. That alone was worth it!

i can indeed see that its a compelling argument for a move to goggle apps but for around 150 users it may not the that cost effective in the long run.

$50/user per year? No spam software, no backup software, no servers? It was made for small-to medium sized business. We are just a high example.
