Business Challenge

IBTS was able to mine the basic Exchange statistics with the basic cmdlets and scripting. However, it was not the good-to-know information that they were after; rather IBTS found itself in a position where it needed a more granular level of reporting, using which informed decisions could be made in the direction of continued and efficient email communication.

For example, beyond the overall count of mails sent to Internet; detailed data on the count of mails sent to Internet towards a specific domain or by a specific user could provide increased clarity on the Exchange environment.

The Exchange Reporter Plus solution

  • With over 450+ reports, Exchange Reporter Plus offered a critical view of all the important aspects of an Exchange system ranging from Mailboxes, Email traffic, Traffic towards Internet and many more.
  • With the granularity option, Exchange Reporter Plus provided the much-needed flexibility to change the views from summary to daily or hourly granular levels. Thus it was now possible for IBTS to get a holistic perspective on the Exchange environment with the option to get drilled down data that aided in in-depth reporting.
  • To help in further analysis of data, Exchange Reporter Plus also supported automatic scheduling and exporting of reports to desired formats like xls, csv, pdf and html.
