Microsoft Exchange is the most widely used Advanced
Messaging and Information Sharing application by small
to medium size businesses.
Microsoft Exchange functions in two ways:
- As an Advanced Business Class Mail Server. Exchange
supports different mail protocols (RPC over HTTPS, MAPI,
IMAP and POP) used either on Microsoft Outlook or a web
browser
- As an Information Sharing Collaboration server. Much
more powerful than simple email, Microsoft Exchange
allows users to share information, either by using
Microsoft Outlook on the desktop, using Outlook Web
Access through a browser, or when mobile using a
BlackBerry, PocketPC or SmartMobile device.
Exchange server turns Microsoft Outlook from a simple
personal information management tool to a powerful tool
that supports group collaboration. New features include
public folders to which everyone can contribute and view
files, calendars for scheduling meetings or reserving
resources like conference rooms, common address books
for sharing contact information, and much more.

Is simple email good enough for your Business?
Business class Exchange email vs. simple POP email
POP3 email systems, whether implemented in-house or
outsourced provide limited functionality and is only
intended for individual users. Exchange gives your users
access to effective communication and collaboration
tools through a comprehensive, integrated system. If you
want “just good enough email” then simple POP3 email is
what you need, but what Business is “good enough or
simple”? if you want to provide your users the messaging
and information tools to make them more organized and
productive then Microsoft Exchange is the solution you
need.

The Challenge: Information Sharing without Complexity
If you require collaboration - and any organization with
at least a few employees does – Microsoft Exchange
Server combined with Microsoft Outlook on your desktop
is your best option.
So why doesn't everyone who wants to share data with
Outlook just install Exchange? The answer is: cost and
complexity.
Unfortunately, an in-house installation and maintenance
of an Exchange Server is too costly and complex for
small or even medium companies. Exchange is a
server-based application that requires an Active
Directory infrastructure. An investment of thousands of
dollars is required for hardware, not to mention
knowledgeable IT personnel to support it
The Solution: Hosted Microsoft Exchange
Now, with Hosted Microsoft Exchange, any organization
can take advantage of the same tools and benefits
previously reserved for large enterprises. For a low,
fixed and predictable per user monthly fee, you can
realize all the user, group, and mobile benefits of
Microsoft Exchange, in an enterprise-class
infrastructure.
