MattyXXL 3,435 Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Agreed, it still surprises me how a few companies are still using them as their primary work phones when nearly everyone has made the switch to providing employees with iPhones. I guess there's just a few companies here and there that haven't made the transition yet. It all has to do with infrastructure. Trust me there a re more than just a few We just Migrated to exchange 2010 18 months ago, So we are now doing our Switch to apple and android. I have people breaking their Blackberries on a daily basis just so they can get an iPhone, you should see how surprised when I come to them 10 min later with the screen replaced LOL. A friend of mine who works for Merryl Lynch is gearing up for their migration from Lotus to Exchange 2010. you would be surprised how many companies are still in the stone age You guys know Blackberry/Research in Motion is a Canadian company right? Only Canadians would name a company RIM Quote Link to post Share on other sites

How many employees # in the conversion being affected (size). Likewise, do you know how much merryl lynch size/cost. Trying to see how much it actually cost since I only know # for one company did the conversion to cloud based platform. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Our total cost is still ongoing so far we are in the hole just about 10 mil, and we only have the US, Canada, Japan, China and some of South and Central america done. We are coming from over 200 2003 exchange servers and about 20 notes server to a total of 7 2010 servers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BlackT5 738 Posted March 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Picked up a new torque wrench to match my larger one. Proto 3/8 drive 10-80 ft lbs. Mainly I needed this to torque the new timing belt tensioner pulley bolt (T40) since nothing else I had would fit in there. Good excuse to buy tools Quote Link to post Share on other sites
