Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We currently use it as the primary tool to manage all our email addresses, distribution lists and shared mailboxes in our organization. When our parent company bought us, it helped manage all the migrated mailboxes from our Lime Energy Tenant to their own tenant. We have a hybrid setup where we have a local Microsoft Exchange that syncs to the cloud and also syncs to our On-Premise Active Directory. This serves as the central management of mailboxes etc.
