2. Typical Business Challenges
Is our email fully compatible with all our remote
and mobile employees’ personal devices?
How can I reduce the complexities
associated with managing our own
email service?
Are we spending too much IT budget on email hardware,
security, licenses, upgrades and maintenance?
Is our email platform meeting all regulatory
compliance requirements for security, archiving
and encryption?
Do I have the IT staff available to keep my email
up and running all the time, and provide backup
protection?
How do I support the secure transfer of files
that are too large for email attachments?
Does our email enable maximum employee
productivity and collaboration?
3. The Gartner Position on Cloud Email: June 1, 2012
• Staff redeployment. Cloud email typically requires one-quarter
to one-half of the staff required to manage on-premises email.
Resources that are freed up by the move to cloud email are
typically reassigned to duties which return more value to the
organization.
• Economics. For organizations under 10,000 seats, cloud email
can be less expensive than on-premises email by about 25%.
• Complexity avoidance. Email is getting more complex as
demands for mobility, redundancy, port 25 (SMTP) protection
and storage are rapidly increasing. Cloud email enables
organizations to avoid some of the growing operational
complexity of email.

Editor's Notes
NOTE to presenters – this ppt is focused on the Hosted Exchange. This service is the most economical Cloud email service we offer.If a customer wants a Dedicated service instead of a Shared service, then EarthLink offers a Dedicated Exchange or a Dedicated Zimbra email service (these two services are not covered in this deck, so a follow-up discussion might be appropriate) If a prospective customer requires more that 75 email boxes, a Dedicated Hosted MS Exchange 2010 or Dedicated Zimbra service might be more cost effective solution.
Today’s business owner wants to have an email service that maximizes employee productivity while minimizing the cost and headaches associated with managing the hardware, software and security of their email. Add to this the regulatory compliance requirements and running an email service on an in-house basis can easily become an unwanted burden.Some experts suggest that Email might be the best and easiest application for businesses to move to the Cloud.
Gartner, the world's leading information technology research and advisory company, agrees with moving email to the cloud.They identified many benefits for businesses of all sizes to move their email service from an in-house solution to a cloud based solution.Most notably the reduction of the headaches of running email internally and ability to reallocate IT resources to be more productive.They also highlighted the real costs savings associated with moving email to the cloud – about 25% for businesses with under 10,000 seats.
EarthLink provides a very cost effective Shared Hosted solution with Microsoft Exchange 2010.
