123Together.com Offers SMBs Migration Assistance to Hosted Microsoft Exchange
Server 2007 Service Pack 1
- Businesses with previous versions of Microsoft Exchange or other email
programs can simply and cost effectively migrate to Exchange Server 2007 SP1
as a hosted service -

BURLINGTON, Mass., Feb. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- 123Together.com, the leading
provider of hosted enterprise-class messaging and collaboration solutions such
as hosted Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 SP1 and hosted Windows SharePoint
Services 3.0, today announced the availability of migration tools and
assistance for small and mid-size businesses (SMBs), who wish to migrate their
email from a previous version of Microsoft Exchange Server or another email
program to its hosted Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 SP1 service.
123Together.com's hosted Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 SP1 service
empowers businesses to take advantage of the same messaging and collaboration
tools used by Fortune 500 companies by providing them with immediate access to
the latest version of Microsoft Exchange. 123Together.com's Exchange Server
hosting service offers businesses greater functionality and improved stability
including access to Exchange 2007 SP1 features such as a more efficient and
easier to use interface for Outlook Web Access, support for mailboxes as large
as 15GB, fast performance on 64bit servers, shared and dedicated (including
clustered dedicated) server options, instant message searching capabilities
and more.
IT managers wishing to utilize Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 SP1 in-house
are discovering that it will be an expensive and time consuming road ahead.
An in-house upgrade requires a significant capital outlay due to the
requirement for new 64bit hardware. In place upgrades are not possible from
prior versions of Exchange Server to Exchange 2007 and additional personnel
may need to be hired or existing staff re-trained for proficiency with the
command line administration interface utilized for the management of Exchange
Server 2007. Other peripheral applications such as backup, anti-virus and
mobility software may also require significant upgrades in order to support
Exchange Server 2007.
Companies can capitalize on 123Together.com's hosted Exchange Server 2007
SP1 without making investments in technology or personnel. Additionally,
customers have the advantage of utilizing this technology without having to
manage, monitor and maintain in-house hardware or software on an ongoing
basis.
Along with full Exchange 2007 SP1 access, customers receive an easy to use
web-based administration interface, 24x7 U.S.-based phone and email support,
and full support for BlackBerry Enterprise Server, Windows Mobile and Good
Messaging Server support. 123Together.com also provides customers with a 99.9%
uptime guarantee on its shared servers and a 100% uptime guarantee on its
dedicated servers.
"The new hardware and additional financial outlay required for an in-house
migration to Exchange Server 2007 SP1 has caused many businesses to rethink a
possible upgrade," said Ravi Agarwal, chief executive officer of
123Together.com. "However, by using 123Together.com's Exchange 2007 hosting
service, we will work with individual businesses to migrate their mailboxes
and data as quickly or as slowly as they require and provide them with
automated tools to customize the process to their needs. Transitioning
employee email at a rate that they can easily absorb is key to making the
migration as seamless as possible."
123Together.com offers hosted Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 SP1 on both
shared and dedicated servers. Various levels of free migration assistance are
available for dedicated server customers based on the server level purchased.
