• FAQs
  • We prefer to have full control of our emails in house. We don't want to be inconvenienced by an outage.
    • Microsoft® guarantees 99% uptime. Microsoft® Exchange Online is housed around the world in secure datacenters. Microsoft® maintains redundancy across servers and datacenters so if a datacenter goes down your emails will remain online.
      Compare this to an in-house solution. If the internet goes down or your server crashes you could be offline for a very long time. With Microsoft® Exchange Online if the power goes out at your office, you can continue receiving and sending emails on your phone or you can access your emails though another internet source.
  • We're worried about security? If our emails are on the internet aren't they more susceptible to hackers?
    • Small business firewalls are often breached by attackers and malware downloaded internally by users. A virus or breach in security could cause serious repercussions to your business and credibility.
    • Microsoft® maintains an advanced level of security. Their datacenters are ISO 27001 complaint and meet a wide variety of industry standards and certifications. Microsoft® uses SSL encryption, requires secure passwords and requires users to change their passwords every ninety days. They also maintain 24/7 monitoring and support. The chances of your in-house email being breached are probably higher than a hacker breaching Microsoft's infrastructure.
      For more information on Microsoft® online security see Microsoft® Global Foundation Services white-papers.
  • Isn't it less expensive to have our own Microsoft® Exchange server in-house? A monthly fee will eventually cost more than a one-time purchase.
    • This may be true if all you are buying is the server and software. A low-end Small Business Server which includes Microsoft® Exchange, for 5 users, may cost around $3000 - $5000 depending on your needs. However, consider a few hidden costs:
      a. Spam Protection - $25.00 a month
      b. Onsite and Off-site backup - $25.00 a month
      c. Cost of air-conditioning – $25.00 a month
      d. Server closet space (rental or mortgage) - $75.00 a month
      e. IT support and maintenance- $75.00 a month
      Total Potential hidden costs: $225.00 a month. This doesn't include the cost in labor and software to upgrade to the latest Exchange server software if you need the added functionality in the future.
      Compared to Microsoft® Exchange Online – 5 users $25.00 a month.
