Microsoft has recently introduced Exchange 2010 which costs 70% less than other previous versions.
Cost has become a hot topic recently right after IBM released its own email service named Lotus iNotes which cost each user only $3 and Google became the city of Los Angeles’ e-mail provider.
It is certain that Microsoft has to worry more about its leading position in e-mail platform of Exchange when many other rivals have joined this field. In addition to IBM’s announcement of a SaaS version of Notes, Cisco announced Monday that it would be entering the corporate e-mail market by integrating e-mail capabilities into its WebEx collaboration suite.
However, Microsoft seems not to worry when it still remains the price of its on-premises server. Luckily, users can save cost thanks to a combination of new features in Exchange 2010 and the slow migration to e-mail as a service.
