Microsoft Exchange has extraordinary server requirements, meaning an investment in a server, or multiple servers, for an Exchange installation can run into tens of thousands of dollars.
On the other hand, SmarterMail can run on existing hardware. Even when purchasing a new, robust server with RAID, your investment in hardware can be a fraction of what Exchange requires.
Managing an Exchange installation is costly from a labor standpoint as well due to the various pieces necessary to manage Exchange: domain controllers, Active Directory, etc. These skills mean a more experienced employee is required.
SmarterMail doesn't have those additional requirements, so a SmarterMail installation can be managed by any role within an organization. For example, an IT Administrator, which can save a business tens of thousands of dollars annually.
