With so many enterprises mulling the fundamental question of life - to migrate to MS Exchange 2010 or not - Azelos Corp did a very timely study on the migration plans of enterprises. It found that 44% of companies with 1000 seats or more plan to migrate to Exchange 2010 in the next 18 months. The reason for this planned migration were its large mailbox capabilities for 50% of respondents, improved storage flexibility for 50%, archiving and retention policies for 48%, and disaster recovery features for 40%. The reasons given for non adoption are as follows - 51% cite high costs, while 31% say that it would be too difficult for them to shift from a non MS platform to MS Exchange 2010. This study doesn't cover small businesses, and it would be interesting to know what their migration plans are. It seems likely however, that theyll either opt for hosted Exchange or other SaaS Exchange alternatives. Thanks Matt for the article.
