Managed Exchange services
I was looking around the Exchange home page today and noticed that we're now offering a managed Exchange service through Frontbridge. This is a great idea for those who don't want the worry of managing their Exchange environment at their own premises, and want to switch to a totally hosted solution. To take the worry away so to speak, and let someone else manage the uptime requirements for you.
I'm not all that specialised in Hosted Exchange technologies, so I can't evangelise about this effectively... Are there good Hosted Exchange guys who would be interested in working in the UK as a hosting evangelist at some stage in the future? I wonder if I need to increase the size of my team...?
By the way - This is a different offer than the Managed Exchange offer in conjunction with MOM. The Managed Exchange Offer: The new smart way to buy Exchange Server.
