Exchange 14 in Education
We are currently hosting over 3.5 million students in production today on Exchange 14 beta code via our cloud based Exchange Labs offering so we are getting tremendous feedback on improving Exchange 14 with relation to the Education space.
We also have many schools interested in Exchange 14 for both on premise and online right now and they are participating in our Rapid Deployment Program where they get an early look at our code, and deploy a subset of mailboxes on this platform pre-release. Their feedback from a Education point of view will be extremely valuable.
