Microsoft has announced that Exchange 2010 will be made available sometime during the second half of this year, and will include a number of substantial upgrades and new features.
Microsoft has focused a lot of its effort in the development of Exchange 2010 to concentrate on integrating more e-Discovery-like features such as e-mail archiving and multi-mailbox searching. The new features aim to provide companies with a basic, low-cost method to comply with Court Orders and litigation hold requests when it comes to their e-mail infrastructure.
Some of the other new features in Exchange 2010 include instant messaging, a new Outlook Web Access interface, threaded e-mail conversations, e-mail delivery confirmation, external calendar sharing and voicemail-to-text transcription.
If your firm is still running Exchange 2003, holding off another 6 months or so to upgrade might be worth the wait. With Microsoft, it is always wise not to be the first to take the plunge.
