I am the network administrator for an organization that has 19 branch offices in three counties serving approximately 350 user. We are currently using MS Exchange 5.5 Server and Outlook for corporate mail. However, my manager is dead set on switching from Exchange to something free (anything) off the web. No, we are not having any problems with Exchange and all the users seem to be confortable using the client. The reason for the change is because my manager and her boss is one of those Bill Gates bashers and want to get away from anything with Microsoft in it’s name. How do I convience these idiots that one, getting away from anything with Microsoft in it’s name is virtually impossible; two, why would anyone want to downgrade their IT department techonology to something ‘free’. I am sure there are some good free mail software out there but I would think that the push would be to at least stay in the main stream of the corporate world. What can I do. How do I get management to stop looking backwards and move this department into the 21st century.
