For the majority of today's organizations, the largest producer of corporate data is still the Exchange environment and the thought of sharing it with a 3rd party cloud provider is something you're just not willing to do.

We understand, therefore StarkContrast will securely and remotely design, implement and migrate your environment to Exchange 2013 (Or 2016 soon!). 

The only thing that's changed is the how and where. No more 30-day visas far flung countries for implementation. We now securely and remotely reach any site in the world within seconds from the StarkContrast network operations center.

We implement the following technologies in a turnkey solution for your enterprise:

• Exchange Server 2013 or 2016 (Designed by Microsoft Master trained Architect)
• Low-effort:  Migration from 2010 SP3/2007 SP3 rollup 10
• Med-effort:  Migration from 2003/2000
• Hardware load balancers (Implemented by a Barracuda Certified Engineer)
• Microsoft Skype for Business (Soon to include CloudPSTN!)
• RIM/Blackberry Enterprise Server
• PowerShell scripting (to simplify large projects, speed deployment, and certify proper migration.)

StarkContrast works within your existing secure remote access infrastructure and you'll retain the authority to audit and/or record changes performed within your environment.

Contact us today and let's discuss your engagement.

Via rich co-existence, users in the cloud maintain free-busy data, single sign-on, mailbox delegation, and password synchronization with your existing on premise Exchange & Active Directory organization.

Our experienced Cloud Architects will assess your organization's current messaging infrastructure and utilize the advanced migration tools necessary to seamlessly move your users to the Office 365 platform with minimal end-user impact.

StarkContrast uses the following technologies within a typical rich coexistence migration:

• Exchange Server
• Active Directory Federation Services 3.0 (ADFS)
• Directory Synchronization (DirSync)
• Single Sign-On (SSO)
• Password Synchronization
• Unified Access Gateway (UAG)
• Load balancing appliances and firewalls
• PowerShell Scripting
• DNS

The vast majority of these deployments are what could be referred to as "act, wait, repeat" engagements. They are ill-suited for a traditional on-site engagement.

Therefore, StarkContrast offers these services securely and remotely, saving your organization considerable expense and potential delays due to travel, and change control processes, among others.
