Upgrade Exchange 2007 - 2010

Hi

i am building a business case for my boss to upgrade our existing Exchange 2007 Sp1 to Exchange 2010.

I am busy rolling out a new Disater recovery site / Plan so this upgrade will fall into the same project.

What is the main benefits from upgrading 2007 - 2010 ?
Is it really worth it spending all that money again on upgrade ?

It depends but i dont think E2k10 will give you any new boost so if you have money wait for another year or so and check for Exchange 2013 as it has some new features but

What is the main benefits from upgrading 2007 - 2010 ? - Really depends on what your looking for and if E2k10 can meet those needs or give you some extra benifit
Is it really worth it spending all that money again on upgrade ? - I wouldnt say so as E2k7 itself is very much alike E2k10 with only some additional features which is quiet obvious with a upgraded product

However if you more Q let us know :)

I have to say that the upgrade from Exchange 2007 to 2010 is worth it, but 2010 to 2013 doesn't really seem worth the hassle, other than the web based admin console.

High availability is very simple with Exchange 2010, and can be done with standard edition.

It is different for every company. There isn't enough information in the question to be able to say whether it is a good upgrade or not.

It was said that Exchange 2003 was what Exchange 2000 should have been, and I would say the same for Exchange 2007 and 2010. Most of the work I am doing now is upgrades to 2010.
