Designing for Large Organizations-CompanyABC

Designing for Large Organizations ”CompanyABC

One of the last, heavily fought realms for "frontiers" in the messaging world is that of the large, enterprise organizations. Microsoft has invested considerable resources into expanding the install base of Exchange Server into this arena, and has fixed many of the problems with Exchange that previously kept it geared toward small and midsize organizations.

The example of a large organization for the purposes of this chapter is CompanyABC. CompanyABC is a large, multinational medical services company headquartered in Minneapolis. A total of 9000 users worldwide work for CompanyABC, with major centers in San Francisco, Dallas, New York, Paris, Moscow, Tokyo, and Singapore. Multiple smaller offices are spread around the globe. CompanyABC recently acquired a competitor, effectively doubling its size , but requiring thought into integration of the new environment. The decision to deploy Exchange Server 2003 was based on the improvements made to Exchange in areas of site consolidation, clients , and total cost of ownership. Specific design decisions reached by CompanyABC are outlined in later sections.
