Anyone in EMBC?
If so could you answer a couple of questions for me about the Synetrix service.
1. What version of Exchange are they running.
2. Does anyone have access to / got the information regarding the moving of EMBC Hosted websites.
3. I have been told that there will be different services that the schools can buy into. What are these services and when will they be available.
Many Thanks. :)
Have you looked through the documents onthe EMBC website? You should receive a document from Synetrix which explains everything.

Thanks. I'd been trying to access that site all last week but it was coming back as 401 Unathorized.Quote:

Each LA is working on alert sheets specific to their LA and services that are being purchased, so it really should be the LA team you contact.
If you don't have any joy in the next day or so then please let me know and I will pass on your details to them.
Was told by one of our LEA contacts that as we use Mirapoint on EMBC, the move to Synetrix could mean a move up to Exchange 2007 free of charge.
Other than that he was pretty hazy on the info
We are going to a meeting on the 20th Feb about the change overQuote:

From what I can gather instead of getting everything you choose what you need. You no longer automatically get stuff like video conferencing. Not been to the meetings yet so unsure on anything more.
