Microsoft Exchange Features

People running Exchange as their email server typically use Microsoft Outlook as their email ‘client’. Among many advanced features, this lets them:
  • Securely access email remotely – via the Web or a mobile device like a BlackBerry or Treo
  • View colleagues’ up-to-date calendars and schedule meetings
  • Assign and manage company tasks on central ‘to do’ lists
  • Manage contact information of employees and customers and access it anytime
  • Share documents across the team so everyone’s working from the most current version
Exchange is a quantum leap from basic POP3 or IMAP4 email and makes your team much more productive through constant access to email, calendars and contacts, as well as important files and information.  To help you understand the productivity-boosting options that Exchange offers, click here for a comparison of Outlook/Exchange versus basic email options.
