Case Study: Datatune achieves enterprise-class e-mail productivity with Microsoft Online Services

Online Services Help Software Firm Affordably Access Enterprise-class E-mail

Datatune, a Seattle-based software development firm, needed a more efficient and cost-effective e-mail solution after moving from its onsite Microsoft Exchange Server to Google Apps and finding that productivity suffered due to unfamiliar navigation and slower performance. Technology Associates helped connect Datatune with Microsoft Online Services, including Microsoft Exchange Online and related services, to restore a familiar enterprise-class communications environment.

With Technology Associates’ help, Datatune implemented Microsoft Exchange Online through Microsoft Online Services, gaining Outlook compatibility, better mobile access, integrated calendaring, and stronger reliability without maintaining its own server infrastructure. The company reported that the new solution cost less than $20 per user per month versus the $70 to $80 per user per month it had been paying for comparable services, while also eliminating several hours each month of troubleshooting and maintenance and improving overall productivity.
