Issues For Hosting Companies• High TCO for Premium offering

• Little differentiation
• Strong vendor power
• Multiple points of failure– Exchange and BES for Corporate BlackBerry sync
– Mail Server and BIS for cheaper BlackBerry sync
• “Basic” offerings now free– MSN, Yahoo!, GMail feature rich and only ad supported

Addressing Hosting Issues• Focus on Premium features

– Web Client▪ Cross-browser support, rich interface, mail, calendar, contacts
– Mobile▪ Support leading smart-phones
– North America – iPhone, Windows Mobile, BlackBerry, Treo, Blackjack, etc.

▪ BIS functionality too limited for SMB– 2 inboxes
– No calendar and contacts
• Lower TCO where possible– Is Exchange necessary for everyone?
– Is BES or other Middleware required?
