"By the end of next year all of Exchange and Lync will be in the cloud for us. If it can go to cloud, it should go."

SharePoint, however, may take a little time, says Taylor.

Hendrick's dealerships are mostly autonomous and IT serves them as if they are 75 different businesses. Each dealership has its own SharePoint intranet and MySites for individual employees, and are free to use them in their own way -- whether it's managing documents, tracking the paperwork that went with the "Cash for Clunkers" program or simply gathering relevant news articles and videos on a MySite page.

"Because we are always spinning up new SharePoint sites, we'll probably take a hybrid approach there," says Taylor.
