Increase revenues

and paid you for it.
Reduce churn
The number of Microsoft Exchange users is expected to rise to 200 million by 2009, says Radicati Group, the research company.
Once a business chooses an Exchange host, they are likely to stay, as migrating email and other data is difficult and time-consuming.
Ride the SaaS wave
The market for software as a service (SaaS) is growing rapidly. The SaaS segment is expected to comprise 25-30% of all new software sales by 2011. Businesses of all sizes now accept that business applications delivered over the Internet are the right choice for many reasons:
Capital expenditure. New hardware, software, peripherals and the never-ending upgrade pressures.
Expense. Administration, maintenance, upgrades and implementation.
Complexity. Datacenters, networking, backups, compliance with new e-discovery regulations.
Within the SaaS segment, Microsoft Exchange as a hosted service is one of the most popular offerings, growing at over 39% annually according to Microsoft.
