Exchange Server 2007 Brings Value to Your Messaging Environment
 

Organizations around the world are upgrading to Microsoft® Exchange Server 2007 to take advantage
of new capabilities that improve productivity and reduce costs. Many of these organizations have
accelerated their deployment plans after initial testing because of the benefits for both end users and IT staff.

Benefits from the upgrade can be grouped into three categories: protection, access to information, and
operational efficiency. In each of these areas, Exchange Server 2007 has led to lower costs for the
organization and improved service to end users. Organizations have found that the cost of upgrading is
lower than they expected. And new deployment and migration tools make the upgrade process faster
and easier than it was with previous versions. This white paper draws on the experience of these early
adopters to explain the value that Microsoft customers can expect to achieve when they upgrade
to Exchange Server 2007. Emory University is one of the early adopters of Exchange Server 2007.
Samples from the business case for Emory University’s upgrade will be provided throughout this paper
to help illustrate the value of upgrading.
