RE: How much does Exchange really cost?
I am running an exchange server (among all the other
IT duties) for 65 users. If I divide 800/65 that gives
me about 8%. If I take 8% of $1m that gives me a
budget of around $80k. I can take this to the owner
and pitch one of two things, either I am really cheap
or I should get a raise.
