  • Difficulty of the in-house team to absorb virtualisation architecture and the new version of exchange

Solution

  • Hosting of customer email service on Google apps-based Mail service
  • Seamless transition of mail service from Exchange to the cloud
  • Deploying end-user mailboxes, address boxes and backup
