asked on

Office 365....no onsite Exchange?

hi guys,

One of our offices overseas wants to transfer their current old emails on to Office 365. They're currently on Exchange 2007. However, I was planning on transitioning them like I have done before to Exchange 2013. So my question is, if I built Exchange 2013 and got them ready to move on to the new Exchange then would that be pointless if they wanted to use Office 365? If they use 365, then would that mean the Exchange server I'm building for them will be too costly and pointless as it will instead use Exchange online?

Thanks
Yashy

In order to transition, you must be on Exchange 2010 or 2013,  Either way an upgrade is required.

's not true. You can migrate from Exchange 2007 to Office 365. We've just done it for a 75-mailbox company. You can even do it from 2003 if you fancy; not sure where you got that info Mohammed, but it's 100% wrong.
