There may be other options if your company is willing to configure it. In my case, we have Intellisync setup, so I can sync my phone with work email and calendar online. Push eats up my battery, so I just manually connect for email, but it works great.
But it's something that your company has to configure. I got lucky when the IT director got this software to support his phone, and I mentioned it to him so he gave me access.

That's not necessarily true. I could connect to my prior company's exchange system with my Touch without having to ask a soul to allow it. All you need are domain credentials and the OMA address.
Also, push shouldn't eat up battery. Push was designed so a mobile device wouldn't have to check-in for updates, thus waking up processes, data connections, and the like. The server tells your phone whenever a change occurs.
