Notes Simplified IT Management
By choosing a hosted e-mail solution, Tyco Flow Control has been able to reduce IT
management overhead and repurpose staff. “It’s been great,” says DeGregorio. “We have
moved people around, and we have been able to concentrate on other areas of the business.
We had two individuals who two years ago would be consumed with e-mail issues. They
now make up our Network Security team.”

Cost Savings
With hosted e-mail, Tyco has reduced hardware and maintenance costs, as well as third-party
licensing costs for features like e-mail filtering which are included in Microsoft Exchange
Online. “By going off-premise, we saved the purchase of additional hardware,” DeGregorio
says. “And it is not just that, there’s also the ongoing upkeep, maintenance, and upgrades.
That’s all out of our hands now, and I do not have to worry about it. We also save money by
consolidating and standardizing all the different systems we used to manage.”

3.7 Summary

• Flow control means exactly what it sounds like it should, controlling the flow of something.
When using flow control for programming, what you are doing is regulating the order in
which the code is executed, how many times it is executed, and if it is executed at all.

• Conditionals allow us to specify whether or not to run a selected piece of code based on
some prior condition.
