“Microsoft Exchange Server has greatly improved the intra Company Communication while providing a robust messaging environment. Also the all Windows environment has reduced the complexity of the infrastructure allowing us to spend time in rolling out more services for the users rather than spend time in fire-fighting.” – Mr. Gaurav Jain, Director, Jai Corp.

The Company faced new challenges which required it to look  for a more scalable solution.:

The SQL Server bundled in Small Business Server 2003 Premium provided the Database service to SAP . d) implement a thin client solution ( GO Global) on a separate Windows 2003 R2 Server to web enable the SAP application  implemented on Windows SBS Premium Server.
