Have you ever got yourself in a tizzy when email was delayed or ‘simply lost’? It’s our team’s responsibility to ensure that customers NEVER feel this way about their email when they use the Office 365 service or their on-premise Exchange Servers. To gain an appreciation for how important a role this is, let’s throw in some numbers. The O365 service has hundreds of thousands of corporations (including Govt. and Fortune 500 companies) using the service as their primary email solution for work. The O365 service deals with well over 100 million emails daily. Ensuring these emails reach their destination ALWAYS and are within SLA is what we strive for. To do so requires us to build a platform that continuously scales to the growing needs of the service while constantly being reliable and available.
