As cloud communications gains popularity, companies are taking advantage of services like email hosting, not only to streamline operations but also to cut costs and save valuable time.

Quest Software (News - Alert), which specializes in IT management applications, has just launched its new email hosting solution called Quest OnDemand Migration for Email, which allows service providers and organizations to take advantage of the amazing features presented by the cloud.

Quest OnDemand Migration for Email is built upon Microsoft’s (News - Alert) Azure platform, simplifing migration to Microsoft Office 365 and hosted Exchange.

The migration application suite comprises a wide range of capabilities that can eliminate or dramatically minimize the risk of email migration projects.

Quest helps organizations avoid common mistakes and prepare, migrate, coexist, and manage the process of moving to new versions of technologies including Active Directory, Exchange, Office 365, SharePoint, and Windows.
