google-apps

I am looking at the next step in our Groupware solutions.

Rather got with a conventional add a new MS Server/MS Exchange to allow for growth and expanding offices.

Could an Office operate with both an existing Exchange server setup and migrate a portion of mailboxes to the GoogleApps platform?

I want to see if the we could use the GoogleApps for managers and larger mailboxes, and leave a large amount of small mailboxes on the existing hardware that is configured for Exchange/outlook?

Can the two co-exist in an longterm configuration, where they can 'play nice' together? Is there any options that would allow for for this and would this have limitations? Such as the Free/busy connectors (Calendaring)?

Is there any pitfalls for this type of design?

Thanks
