              Overall, this was some good data for anyone in the market for hosted Microsoft Exchange although this data will improve over time, as our sample size grows. we\u00a0would also like to hear more about customer experiences with the hundreds of other service providers that sell Hosted Exchange… not just the big guys.<\/p>\n

              Our final\u00a0thought was that we\u00a0are not surprised that reliability and support are top-of-mind with you IT professionals but we are\u00a0a little surprised at how often the interface is mentioned as a high-point. In hind-sight, it makes sense that happy users means happy IT!<\/p>\n

              We\u00a0hope you found this a little useful.<\/p>\n
