SMB Competitive Overview

• Brand recognition

32
Competitive Advantage Gartner

• "The high cost of upgrading from v5.5 to Exchange
  2000 and its expensive prerequisites (Windows
  2000 and Active Directory) are causing many
  customers to consider other options."
• "Less than 10 percent of the 5.5 installed base
  has moved to 2000, even though it's been
  available for two years."
• "SCO (shipped for the first time in 4Q01 under
  the name Caldera) has an understandably small
  market share at this point, but has good support
  for all the features of the Outlook client on an
  efficient and scalable Linux server and is
  expected to do well."
