For many businesses email is the most important tool for communicating with customers, partners and colleagues. -increase productivity -reduce costs -provide anytime, anywhere access to critical documents, customer info and messages -protect sensitive corporate and customer information -synchronize information across multiple computers and mobile devices
Microsoft Outlook is the most popular email / personal information management software. However, by using it to access basic POP/IMAP email from your ISP or domain registrar, you are only tapping into a fraction of the powerful messaging and collaboration capabilities of Outlook. To realize the complete benefits of Outlook, it must be connected to an Exchange Server.
Exchange goes beyond basic email to offer a robust set of communication and collaboration capabilities that increase productivity.
Exchange 2007 is a complex product to install, configure and manage. The solution is comprised of many “roles”, each requiring one or more dedicated servers. Exchange also has a robust ecosystem of products including security, mobility, and backup, just to name a few, that contribute to the complexity of initial set up and ongoing maintenance.
