Switching from Windows Exchange Server 2007

On 11th April 2017, Microsoft terminated support for its Windows Exchange Server 2007 server solution.
This means that the software publisher no longer provides technical support or bug and security patches. Companies that are still running Exchange 2007 – and according to a report from winfuture.de, there are still quite a few – are being forced to migrate.

What does the end of support for Windows Exchange Server 2007 mean?

• At the end of the product lifecycle, Microsoft will not provide any additional updates (patches and hotfixes) for performance, compatibility and security. You will be able to continue using the product. You are however, at risk of being hacked, encountering unsupported features, and networked applications.
• Compliance issues may also arise for Office clients and servers. Software publishers, as well as third-party software vendors and IT service providers may only have limited support available.

Plan your migration from Windows Exchange Server 2007 in good time:

• Make a note of all Office and other Microsoft products that are being used, and whose lifecycle is about to end.
• Evaluate a transition in order to mitigate future risks associated with the end of product lifecycles and the cessation of support.
• Inquire at VENDOSOFT about less expensive used software for the Exchange Server 2010, 2013 and 2016, as well for as all Office applications and Windows Server.
• Save up to 65% compared to the original price!

A direct switch from Windows Exchange Server 2007 to the newest version, Microsoft Exchange Server 2016, is not possible. A direct migration is only possible to Microsoft Exchange 2010 and 2013. VENDOSOFT GmbH sells both versions as inexpensive used software.

Save when switching from Windows Exchange Server 2007

“If the alternative of used software did not exist, those using Exchange Servers 2007 would have to switch to Exchange 2016 and then downgrade”, said Björn Orth, Managing Director of VENDOSOFT GmbH. Costs would be approximately €700 per license. VENDOSOFT offers its customers savings of 54% or 65% respectively on Exchange 2010 and 2013. The company also carries Exchange Server 2016 in its portfolio – sold used for 43% below the original price!

The licensing expert, Orth, recommends that companies switch from Exchange 2007 to a subsequent version in order to avoid any security risks. “With Microsoft Exchange 2010, 2013 or even 2016 (used and new!), we have all the alternatives.”
