- imglorp 9y agoI think the key there is not outlook but all its friends that get dragged along like cobwebs. First there's Exchange, then AD, then the whole CALs thing, then you need spam and malware filtering, then there's archiving and backups, and don't even talk about client compatibility and upgrading all the desktops and _THEIR_ licenses. Or you skip all that and pay the other hand with 365 seats. So it's not just Outlook, because it's designed to be not just Outlook.
- fleitz 9y agoExactly, and the corporate IT dept is railing against it because it means a loss of budget and having to fire all the people who maintain the morass. Company's on 365 would actually probably be an easier target.
- joejerryronnie 9y ago"But only slightly less well known is this: Never take $66 million from a VC when $15 million will do!" Just kidding and congrats! I would take every cent, you never know what kind of funding your competitors might receive. Just try to remain focused and remember to never go full Duplan.
