At The Wildlife Experience, an interactive museum dedicated to natural habitats, one environment that was a bit too wild was its own email service. When it came time to replace the unreliable and difficult-to-manage service, the museum adopted the Microsoft business productivity Online Standard Suite. Now, museum personnel save up to two hours per week and are more effective while away from the museum. Email traffic has shrunk by 35 percent. Reliability has increased by 80 percent. Account provisioning time has been reduced from days to minutes. These and other efficiencies make it possible for the two-person IT staff to manage the expanding environment without additional personnel. By adopting the service, the museum avoided an estimated U.S.$30,000 capital outlay for its own infrastructure, as well as 92 percent of the annual operating expenses for a self-hosted system.
