The Email Reality

Email has become the most widely used application and communication tool in business – for most of us, it’s the first thing we launch and the last thing we close on our computers every day. That’s why it makes sense to get the most efficiency and productivity out of your email system.

A Practical Solution

Microsoft Hosted Exchange with Outlook moves beyond email – it manages schedules and projects, prioritizes messages, delegates tasks and more. Keep current email addresses and avoid the purchase and maintenance of servers, systems, and software licenses. Plus, you can add other valuable tools such as support for mobile devices like BlackBerry and SmartPhones, along with advanced filtering and security to safeguard your company and reduce the time spent dealing with unwanted email.

Before Hosted Exchange

With Hosted Exchange

No way to check available time of colleagues for scheduling meetings or other events.

Find open time slots that work for everybody by viewing free time in participant calendars and send one meeting request for instant scheduling.

Working from multiple devices (home computer, work computer, mobile device) was causing multiple views and versions of your inbox.

Advanced capability for keeping email in synch, no matter how you access it.

Had to download and save attached Microsoft Office files as extra steps.

Open attachments directly in Word, Excel or PowerPoint for viewing and editing.

Multiple vendors to handle, licenses to manage, invoices to pay and numbers to call for support.

Single vendor that brings Exchange together with other applications in one web workplace, with one invoice, one support call and no licenses to manage.
