This page includes all L&EDPS engagement materials, resources and guidance for the L&EDPS offerings to plan an Exchange Server deployment with a L&EDPS customer. We provide Exchange Server resources and technical materials to assist Partners in delivering engagements around Messaging, Telephony, Instant Messaging & Presence, Unified Conferencing, and Voice Mail capabilities.
Partners will also find support for all Migration scenarios: upgrade from Exchange 2007 or earlier versions (to-cloud or on-premises), Notes Migration, and other Competitive Migration.
The outcome of this engagement is supporting documentation for the customer to develop a custom Exchange deployment activities plan. This plan may include a conceptual design, conceptual migration strategy, risk assessment, and/or high-level vision/scope document. If your scope of work includes an Architectural Design Analysis, the customer will receive a design gap analysis of their Exchange deployment plan.
