M$ partner or Not.....
This should not cost the company this much money. I personally run an exchange environment for 200 users and to be honest is one of the best products I have ever worked with as far as maintenance and ease of use and setup. Our costs to run the server are included in my salary of which I do a host of other things besides being an exchange admin. As for the cost to license this it was somewhere in the range of just under $10,000. I am seriously blown away by the cost this company is stating because it just doesn't add up. I understand the other costs of other things such as storage and DR, but seriously excahnge should not be one of the products that an admin needs to work on that often. It just works and makes my life a hell of alot easier. Say what you will, but its a breeze over hear and thats just my view.
