Reduce IT infrastructure operating costs by consolidating mail servers !

Reducing costs and optimizing the IT infrastructure is a top priroriy for most companies for 2009.

Typically large companies Mail and Information Management services are very distributed, based on employee locations. This in turn causes extremely high administration and management costs, that only increase as the company grows.  

The potential for reducing infrastructure costs is proportional to the amount of server distribution, therefore most companies can benefit from a consolidation project. The larger Companies which consolidate must be aware of the complexity and risk associated to the consolidation and migration.  

Consolidation projects are a major strategy in reducing operational costs, they must be realized with a methodical approach and include tools that guarantee their success.
