IL3 Email – Microsoft Exchange
There are many non business critical applications that take up significant development time and storage space to manage in house. Take email for example. What email system you use will not offer you any competitive advantage yet you can still end up spending valuable time, resource and money managing it. These are the perfect applications to run outside of the organisation via the Cloud, freeing up your valuable time to focus on developing business critical applications.
Based on our highly resilient Technology as a Service platform, Exchange as a Service delivers robust, business class, fully functional Microsoft email, priced on a competitive and flexible cost per mailbox basis.
