What is Exchange Email?

Microsoft Hosted Exchange from Exchange Solutions is the email solution designed to help small and medium companies:

Access information, even when out of the office
Get more out of an email system so that employees can get more done
Gain the peace of mind that comes from a professionally managed service
With Microsoft Exchange as the mail server and Microsoft Outlook as your client, your employees can do more than send and receive email – they can share calendars, folders and contacts.

Outlook is available for desktop, browser, and mobile access so you’re always connected, whether you’re in the office, travelling, or working at home. And since you always connect to the same Exchange server, your inbox stays synchronised, no matter which Outlook client you’re using.

When you choose Hosted Exchange from Exchange Solutions, you can rest assured, knowing
your email system is always secure and always available with our:

State-of-the-art security and privacy
High reliability and performance
Outstanding administration and support
Implementing and managing Microsoft Exchange in-house has been cost-prohibitive and out-of-reach for most small-medium businesses. Hosted Exchange is suitable for even the smallest companies with only a few employees. You gain all the power with none of the pain when you choose Microsoft Hosted Exchange from Exchange Solutions.

The Power of Exchange and Outlook

The combination of Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft Outlook includes rich functionality for sorting, prioritizing, delegating and managing email that allows you to take control of your inbox. The service helps your employees get more done by providing:

Group calendars that streamline scheduling by exposing free or busy times for your employees as
well as your shared resources like meeting rooms
Address books for maintaining and sharing company-wide contact information
Public folders for organizing and sharing files
Task lists for basic project management and coordinating activities

Microsoft Outlook is available as a Windows desktop client, as well as Outlook Web Access (OWA) for access from any computer with a web browser and Internet connection, and Outlook Mobile Access (OMA) for web-browser enabled mobile devices. OWA and OMA allow people who are home or on the road to have access to the same information as on-location employees. The user interfaces have been designed to look and feel as similar as possible, making it easy to switch from one to the other with no added learning curve. And everything stays synchronised, whether you are managing your inbox from your computer, your mobile device or any web browser.

Security

Microsoft Hosted Exchange, a business-class email solution from Exchange Solutions, addresses your core email and messaging security concerns on two fronts:

1) Microsoft Exchange Server was designed with security built-in – features include secure defaults, improved ability to restrict connections and messages, automatic logging off from Outlook Web Access, attachment blocking, Block Sender lists and antivirus protection.
2) Exchange Solutions has architected a hosting infrastructure with security as the primary design consideration across all components, from logical to physical to people and processes. Key features include:
1. User authentication and multiple levels of password authorisation to ensure that only authorised users can gain access
2. Data securely backed up offsite
3. Encryption of data during network transit and storage, using standard protocols like SSL (Secure Sockets Layer).
4. Network management software to facilitate preventative maintenance
5. Back-up generators, fire suppression and other controls to protect against physical downtime.

With Hosted Exchange from Exchange Solutions, only you have the key to your information. The security
and confidentiality of your data is our top concern.

Mobility

Microsoft Hosted Exchange, a business-class messaging solution from Exchange Solutions, meets today’s demand for mobility, keeping you wirelessly connected and continuously in the loop while you’re on the go. Frequent travelers can read, compose and act upon messages and attachments no matter where they are – from client site to airport to coffee shop – while maintaining a single mailbox that is always synchronised.

Windows Mobile

Windows Mobile uses Exchange Server ActiveSync and Outlook Mobile Access (OMA) to put the
power of Windows software into Pocket PC or SmartPhone devices. ActiveSync is a protocol that
allows applications to talk directly to the Exchange Server in order to synchronise email, calendar,
and contacts. OMA provides client access from web-browser enabled mobile devices. Together
they help you manage all of your information and communications while on the go.

Get More Done

Most companies share information by sending email messages back and forth. This works reasonably well if your company has two people – beyond that it can quickly fall apart and lead to confusion and frustration! Effective teamwork requires a shared, centralised place to store information, with common, authenticated access for authorised users. With this foundation, your employees can do what’s expected of them, even when they’re traveling or dispersed across multiple locations:

Locate addresses and other contact information among shared lists that everyone can view and edit.
Arrange meetings by viewing free and busy schedules of participants, finding a time that works for all, sending invitations, and tracking responses – with details entered automatically into participant calendars for them.
Manage projects across a workgroup with the ability to view timelines and assignments while tracking items that are active, completed and overdue.
Grant access to administrators and support staff in order to delegate tasks. When you discover that sharing information by email no longer works for your company, we invite you to discover Microsoft Hosted Exchange and other services from Exchange Solutions.

Peace of Mind

Email has become a high demand application used companywide, requiring high around-the-clock availability. To stay competitive in today’s business environment, you need sophisticated messaging tools with features like mobile access and shared calendars. Yet these tools come with complex needs for implementation, management and support. Now you can enjoy the benefits of business class email in a ‘pay as you go’ model that allows you to scale up or down as needed, with no risk. Hosted Exchange from Exchange Solutions frees valuable capital, IT staff and other costly resources for more effective, strategic use within your company.

With Hosted Exchange, no specialised technology skills are required. Administrative tasks, like adding new mailboxes, are simplified so even non-technical staff can handle them. Quality of service will bring you peace of mind, and you get a messaging solution that is much more rich, reliable and robust than basic Web mail.
