Email Migration

Email is central to the communications of any business, playing a primary role in the interaction and information flow between staff, partners and customers. However, as the number of business applications and communication channels increase, coupled with a drive for a more unified and collaborative user environment, so the demands on the email system grow. Nowadays email needs to be integrated into business applications, cope with the demands of mobile working, facilitate more efficient working practices and support new functionality based around a secure single user environment for multiple communication mediums, including voice messaging, ‘click to dial’ telephony, instant messaging and presence information of users. These demands can lead to the need for an organisation to upgrade its existing email system, or even migrate to a new solution to:

Improve the collaborative environment for users:

• Support new working practices, including mobile working
• Integrate with business applications and other communication methods such as telephony
• Standardise IT infrastructure to reduce administration and management complexity, as well as optimising existing licenses
• Upgrade from an unsupported system or version
• Reduce costs in terms of licensing, support and through integrated technologies
