To help ensure high availability of e-mail messaging, Lion Nathan has deployed a pilot of Microsoft® Exchange Server 2010, as a part of the Microsoft Rapid Deployment Program. Lion Nathan expects that messaging enhancements will reduce storage requirements, resulting in a savings of AU$90,000. To help with deployment, Lion Nathan worked with JASCO Consulting, a Microsoft Gold Partner certified to provide Exchange Deployment Planning Services. JASCO has assisted with the planning, design, and migration to the Exchange Server 2010 messaging environment.

“(JASCO Consulting) have been great. They played a key role with the coexistence testing and put together the upgrade test plans for each release during the project. A large number of features need to work together during the migration phase, such as Outlook® Web App, Exchange ActiveSync®, and Outlook Anywhere, so a solid plan and testing is critical to ensuring that the business is not impacted.   Data Protection Manager will allow us to back up to disk and replicate the data to our disaster recovery site, which satisfies our daily offsite backup requirements.” - Brett Watkins, Systems Manager, Lion Nathan.
