Traditionally, smaller organizations cannot afford, nor justify, the ongoing costs of installing and maintaining expensive server hardware, application software, and technical labor to host email, share files and otherwise create a foundation for growth. The ongoing support and maintenance costs of existing platforms alone consume most of their information technology budget. A solution is required that offers the latest email, chat, calendaring, and file sharing capabilities, that is portable and secure, and is always available, but is not too expensive or complex.
