Discussion Topics“Email is absolutely a fundamental component of the minute by minute function of this organization.  There is no tolerance for email outage and so it’s very important that it stays operational.  If email goes down, the impact on the end users is catastrophic.”

Avi Solomon, Becker & Poliakoff P.A

Luke Corley IT Manager Breazeale Sachse &
