Cost is the major reason
why hosted Exchange is
rapidly growing in popularity.
Upfront costs are several
thousand dollars for even
the most basic setup,
putting in-house Exchange
beyond the reach of smaller
businesses.
Ongoing costs for in-house
Exchange are also high.
Either companies need
to hire IT staff or pay
consultants to fix each
problem, adding thousands
more dollars in annual
costs.
