Thread: Interesting Windows Server setup

I wrote a few months back about salesforce to see if
it would work on Windows Server.

There has now been a chage.

The Customer wants to move from salesforce
to Office 2007.

Further he wants to remote in and use his Blackbeery to remote in.
He would pick up his e-mail from his server via
Blackberry.

Is Windows 200X Server statnd with 2 GB RAM adequate?

I haven't used SalesForce, so I can't comment on it compared to Office 2007.
However, I can say that Blackberry handhelds are limited with functionality
depending on whether you purchase a Blackberry server (BES) or just use the
HTTP method for them to connect to their mailboxes. Non-BES configs are fine
to access, send and reply to emails, however you won't get Contacts or
Calendaring to sync. I'm sure that is a requirement in your environment,
from what you're implying that you need a sales solution for your sales
department. With BES, yes it would. Depending on the number of users would
dictate the justification to purchase such a solution from Blackberry. I
think between the server and software, it's probably around $3000, but that
is a guess and it depends on number of users, etc. It must be on a separate
server, whether you buy just the BES software or a BES server/software
solution (which I think it's better so they support it). You would have to
contact Blackberry for specifics.

I can say using Windows Mobile with ActiveSync does this out of the box
without additional resources. It's built in.
