Client

|
Japanese subsidiary of a large American Private Equity Fund.
|
|
Challenge
|
|
The Client wanted all the features of MS Exchange, such as Global address book, Out of Office reply, Company disclaimer, Public Folder, Regular backups etc. with future expansion plans to deploy SharePoint but did not want to go for the upfront huge investment required for the hardware and software and then the ongoing maintenance costs for which they will have to hire an IT engineer permanently.

|
Solution
|
|
TopTech offered to host their MS Exchange in a highly secured datacentre that provided them all the features of the Exchange without actually doing anything in-house while guaranteeing data security and regular backups. The client only needed to pay a very low monthly cost depending on the number of mail box they purchased. The client currently uses Active Sync services for their iPhone users. The whole process - from recommendation to users start using the system - took only 5 days resulting in huge savings in time and cost.
