More than just the necessary hardware and software systems, email also requires substantial time and money for maintenance and upkeep. In-house email calls for patches, precautions to maintain high availability and disaster recovery, and the never-ending work it takes to secure and protect email from spam, phishing, and malware. </span><p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;" class="MsoNormal"> </p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" >In a <a id="k4wx" href="http://www.ostermanresearch.com/execsum/or_saas2009execsum.pdf" target="_blank" title="September 2009 study">September 2009 study</a>, Osterman Research found that decision makers typically underestimate the cost of providing messaging services. According to Osterman, one-quarter of decision makers believe that their organizations spend less than $10 per seat per month to provide messaging services, while another one-third believe they spend anywhere from $10 to $15 per seat per month – but this cost estimate leaves out several important factors, particularly maintenance.<br /><br />The research firm also found that the use of cloud-based email can allow organizations to focus more on their core business rather than devote resources to managing the messaging infrastructure. </span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" ><br /></span> <p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:100%;">Another analyst firm, Forrester Research, found that for a 15,000-person firm requiring archiving, the fully loaded cost of on-premise email was $25.18 per user per month compared to a cost of $8.47 for Google Apps. </span></p> <p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:100%;">But it's not all about cost savings – you need more than just a cheaper messaging solution.
