Your Best Route to Mail Migration

TCOnow! for Mail Migration is a software tool to help you understand the financial impact of a mail migration. By answering a limited number of questions, TCOnow! will generate a Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) comparison for migrating from Microsoft Exchange 5.5 or 2000 to either Microsoft Exchange 2003 or Lotus Notes & Domino 6.5. You can choose to compare the mail migration on Dell, HP or IBM xSeries servers.

While on the surface, e-mail appears to be a very straightforward application, the degree of reliance on these systems, combined with the increasing use for collaboration features makes email decisions that much more complex. As better technology emerges, there is an increase in desire to migrate existing mail systems to these newer servers. At the same time, all of the factors must be taken into consideration.

TCOnow! is capable of doing this kind of in-depth analysis because it is packed with all of the relevent data and default assumptions. If you are trying to determine your best route to mail migration, then this is the product for you!

Select from 17 industry groups (default costs included for employee salaries, benefits, depreciation method and schedule, cost of capital, etc).
