Business Class Email Solutions
• Wireless Devices
 Being able to respond to Emails from your
wireless phone allows you the freedom to
move around in other areas of your
business rather than being chained to
your desk.
 After hours situations happen more
frequently than you might think, being
able to address those instantly with your
wireless device has tremendous value.
 Most business class email solutions come
bundled with synchronization tools that
interact with your desktop machine,
keeping your contacts and calendars
synchronized.
Free Email Solutions are
Bad for Business.
Period.
Business Class Email Solutions
• Free Emails for Business??
Reliability.
Free email solutions from Yahoo, Microsoft Hotmail, and Gmail are great for
personal email accounts where missing an important message isn’t going to
cost you money.

Perception.
Your email address says more about you and your business than you might
think. Let’s ask ourselves some questions…
Business Class Email Solutions
It’s About Perception…
 What does your email address say about your credibility?
 What does your email address say about the credibility of your company?

Microsoft Exchange
Business Class Email Solutions
Business Class Email Solutions
•
 The most popular and widely used business class email solution on the market.
 Combines support for e-mail, calendars, tasks, notes, and contacts
 Supports collaboration between co-workers with shared calendars, shared
contacts, assigned tasks, etc.
 Requires hardware purchase, lease, etc.
 Requires software licensing, renewals, etc.
 Requires dedicated IT Person or Service Contract to run in-house.
 Most Exchange users in our area have Exchange in-house.
 There are options to in-house Exchange that knock the entry costs and
maintenance fees down dramatically.
Business Class Email Solutions
• Microsoft Exchange Costs
 Corporate Account / Small Business w/ 30 Users
 Hardware Costs & Equipment - $8000.00
 Entry Level Software Licensing - $2500.00
 Periodic Software Licensing Renewals - $500.00
 Spam, Antivirus, and Backup Solutions - $3000.00
 The Average Business w/ In-House Exchange has about $12-$15k invested.
 Important to Remember…
The stability of your entire email platform is dependent on the consistency of
your internet service provider. If your internet goes down frequently, your
emails could be held delayed dramatically.
 The Cloud Brings Alternatives…
There are several service providers today offering cloud or hosted Exchange
Solutions for small businesses that only require a small monthly fee per seat, or
account.
Alternatives to
Microsoft Exchange
Server…
Business Class Email Solutions
Business Class Email Solutions
• Microsoft Exchange in the Cloud
 Same Exact Functionality as In-House Exchange
 No Investment in Hardware Needed
 No Software Licensing Required
 Reduced Headaches for your IT Staff
 Flexible Storage Scalability
 Inexpensive Point of Entry, Affordable Monthly Fees
Business Class Email Solutions
Business Class Email Solutions
• Choosing Alternatives to Exchange
 There are several other comparable products on the market similar to Microsoft
Exchange. Have your IT staff research all of the available options and make a
recommendation based on the individual needs of your organization.
 When deciding an alternative for Exchange, keep in mind the need for future
scalability as well as support for wireless devices issued throughout your
organization.
 Many of the solutions on the market today come with contractual commitments,
be weary of entering into long-term licensing contracts. It’s very easy to find
service providers who offer Business Class Email Solutions on a month to month
basis.
 [Disclosure: My company offers an Exchange alternative called Plethware that
has all of the same features of Exchange at a fraction of the cost. We can also
deploy hybrid solutions where you have users on Exchange and other users on
Plethware.]

  5. Businesses use different tools to communicate today than they did 25 years ago.
  6. These are just a few examples of the tech tools businesses use today. What used to be a high pitched shout out to a coworker in another room is now a simple IM chat notification. Even with all of the advances and new technologies out there, Email is still the most widely used & accepted method…
  7. The times have certainly changed… And if you don’t believe it, just ask this guy w/ his 28lb cell phone. (next slide)
  8. Today smartphones look a lot more like this. One of the most important components for a business class email solutions in my opinion is wireless email You will want to make sure that your business class email solutions work well w/ wireless devices and allow synchronization & collaboration. Go over the points to emphasize why wireless is important.
  9. I might be getting ready to step on some toes at this point. Free email solutions are bad for business. I have three reasons why I say this. (Reliability, Security, and Perception)
  10. Reliability
  11. Security should be a primary concern regardless of your business type.
  12. Free email accounts, even Google apps are particularly appealing to organizations because they are FREE. No cost of entry, no overhead, etc., but it’s important to remember that you get what you pay for. Just think about the poor Gmail users that had their accounts hacked and their friends were all emailed viagara testimonials. How embarrassing is that?
  13. This is Sarah Palins hacked Yahoo email account. It was posted on several websites but most famously Gawker.com and wikileaks.com. Not only was her email compromised but also the information for all of her contacts and her calendar.
  14. Perception is important Let’s look a little closer at this point…
  15. Ponder this question
  16. While you ponder that question, I would like to introduce you to BoogersNastyRides25@gmail.com He prefers to keep his email at Gmail because he moves around from company to company a whole lot.
  17. Microsoft Exchange Server is a product that some of you might have heard of before.
  18. Full disclosure, my company, Pleth, LLC offers a cloud based Microsoft Exchange as one of our business class email solutions. The Microsoft Exchange Server in-house solution is what I am referring to right now.
  19. Key points about Exchange
  20. Exchange server costs – in-house version w/ server & software licensing
  21. Alternatives to Microsoft Exchange Server that can be just as productive and save you money.
  22. Disclosure, again my partners and I sell a hosted exchange cloud solution for a monthly per user fee that is a fraction of the cost of normal exchange when you compare apples to apples, etc. We also have a branded solution that is our flagship product called Plethware that we sell as a replacement to exchange. We can also sell hybrid solutions where you might only need 3 exchange licenses / seats and x number of plethware accounts.
  23. What is Microsoft Exchange in the Cloud? What are the advantages.
  24. This is how the cloud works.
  25. What are some considerations?
  26. Spam and Antivirus Solutions
  27. 81% of the email floating around out there is spam.
  28. This is how our Plethware solution protects against spam and viruses at the server level so you don’t have to worry about them on your end.
  29. Email Archiving and Data Retention. Email archiving is a service that backs up and stores all emails from your company. These emails are stored in a searchable location for easy retrieval.
  30. Full disclosure, email archiving is a product that my partners and I added as an add-on to our exchange and plethware products for an additional fee.
  31. These are just a few of the industry mandated regulations in place today that require email archiving and data retention.
  32. Let’s evaluate the Healthcare Industry as an example of how industry regulation is requiring email archiving and data retention.
