I see between 50% and 100% overhead at most of my medium-to-large clients; depending on whether they use PFs or SharePoint for shared calendars or they use resource mailboxes.
Making that kind of change (and what it would cost to change) is a typical piece of the in-source vs. out-source discussion. Regards, Michael B.

We employ about 350 people and have a few dozen contractors. Auditing Exchange for outsourcing, we have 475 mailboxes and 190 service account/resource mailboxes. 350 employees but shelling out for 650+ mailboxes just seems wrong. Those numbers seem out of control to me - what kind of numbers/ratios do you guys se at your org's?
