Overview
Banca Intesa launched in Italy following the merger of three major credit companies. It standardised its messaging infrastructure by deploying Microsoft Exchange Server 2003. The decision was based on the Microsoft solution's ease of administration, integration with existing systems, low total cost of ownership, and enterprise-class support. Using the new e-mail infrastructure has greatly enhanced messaging services for mobile working, and the integration with Microsoft Windows Server 2003 reduces IT management and supports centralised provisioning of user accounts. The company migrated 33,000 mailboxes in less than two months, rationalising the management of the service, increasing its reliability, enabling new user functionalities, and opening a path for new collaboration services.
