Some Points to ponder
Think you are not paying for your e-mail now? Look closely at your to-do list:

Managing Users
Updating spam filters – try managing that for a 500+ user environment
Users signing up for mailing list – and then leaving your organization
Building Black (Deny) and White (Accept) Lists
Buying virus protection – is it up-to-date? What happens when a new virus/worm is released but no antivirus is available for it?
Single-point of failure? What’s your back strategy for your communication links? And hardware/software crash?
Localized Back-up Mail Server?
Remote Back-up Mail Server?
Logs for all in-coming & out-going emails
Logs for all web-based access – and making sense of this all
How much email account for in terms of bandwidth with all the spam, junk and viral email that arrives at your network?
How much does this bandwidth cost you?
Are your employees still trading in funny home-videos they downloaded from the network? A 1 minute video file can be as long as 12MB.
Are Viagra messages still on your PC every time you open your email client?
Can you recall the last time email services was down in your company? Try experiencing that four-times a year (minimum) – what do four days of no-mail cost you?
What/where is your strategy plan to stop proliferation of viruses into your network originating from an email?
Can your network handle a flood of 60,000 attack emails an hour – originating from over 500 different IP addresses? How will you handle this all?
Who do you blame for all this? Considering you are the one who did not invest in email infrastructure/support or axed a cut in their budget?
What if your system administrators were to leave you today? Who would know the intricacies of your system? Who has logged them to the minutest detail?
These are just some of the issues your organization should be thinking of and addressing. As if this was not enough, hosting your own e-mail server costs money. Security Patch headaches alone may be worth outsourcing your e-mail servers.

Why would you want to outsource your e-mail when you are already are managing it in-house?

(a). Security Management - Security expertise from specialists beats trying to add spam and virus products to clients and servers, and keeping them all updated. If a virus gets through a specific filtering add-on service, you be rest assured we will be responsible.

(b). Better Time Management – E-mail outsourcing can save a lot of precious time which could be effectively used in concentrating on your core business and making profits. If all your users handle their own spam filters, virus controls and address books, they’re wasting a lot of time. Server-based systems for spam and virus filtering mean only one person needs to update the spam rules and virus signatures for your entire company. A single address book means new or modified addresses are available to everyone, not just the one person who updated a customer record.
