We currently have a Barracuda Spam and Firewall so no matter what, that would stay on site and licensed.
Why would those stay? Wouldn't eliminating those be a top priority?

@scottalanmiller As someone that will be migrating soon, are you saying that the av/spam filtering is included in o365 or you have a 3rd party providing services for these?

It's included, it is the largest percentage of the value of the service. It's what makes it impossible to consider an on premises system based on cost. No way to compete.

@Sparkum said:
For sure, the largest kicker is we would NEVER switch all of our users, (we are a retail establishment with hundreds and hundreds of generic email addresses)
We currently have a Barracuda Spam and Firewall so no matter what, that would stay on site and licensed.For those generic e-mail addresses, how are you using them? Are they proxy addresses, distribution groups or actual mailboxes?
-
@scottalanmiller Cool. What about backups?

No way to make them aliases?

O365 is inclusive. It's $4, done. That's it. No other costs. Every, single thing is included.

Nope, and its lets say roughly, 20 email addresses per retail location, so currently times something like 36? and growing every year.
-
@Sparkum Right but are they all a 1:1 for a mailbox?
-
They go to positions.
So if that person gets fired/quits there's no change on our end.
Just retail so turn over is high. -
You don't get charged per email address, you get charged per mailbox.user, right?

Where do they go?

Just retail so turn over is high.But, the positions don't have email addresses themselves?

They go to kiosk01, cashier01, car01, installer01, etc

So for example.... scott@ scottalanmiller@ samiller@ all come to me. One mailbox. Aliases are free.

Ah, so those "people" never get an email address of their own at all? Cashier01 is always nothing but cashier01? He will change his email address when he gets a promotion?
