Microsoft Exchange

Collaborate, Communuicate, and Consolidate

One of the more difficult challenges of running a successful small-to-medium sized business is knowing when it's time to upgrade your IT infrastructure. In fact, no fancy business degree is going to help you pick the right time or tool to make the jump from a small-time player to one of the big boys on the block. However, it’s likely that one of the first areas of consideration will be moving from ISP-based e-mail or peer2peer solutions to MS Exchange Server.

Why make the move? Well, stopgap solutions are bound to stop working at some point. You may quickly find that you have more and more colleagues working on various projects on all areas of the planet. As your company grows, so does the need for reliable communication tools. Exchange Server provides messaging, calendar, and e-mail services within a secure framework that protects your infrastructure (and employees!) from ever-present online threats.

If all of the above sounds like it’s missing from your organization, perhaps it’s time that you seriously considered Microsoft Exchange Server. After all, it is designed to help companies in such situations by offering a wide array of features and solutions that guarantee that you and your colleagues stay on top of the game. It’s also been around for some time, which means that you're getting a tried and true product that also enjoys brand and industry recognition. While other options, such as peer2peer solutions offer a number of similar features, Microsoft Exchange server can match that and still offer your more:

  • Tight MS Office Integration: There’s no denying that Microsoft Office, notably Outlook, is the reigning champion of desktop productivity. With Exchange Server, you have the comfort of knowing that all of your colleagues are using the same mail client, which reduces the number of third-party applications you need to support.
  • Anti-spam protection: Tired of having competing spam blockers on your computer? Enjoy the benefits of a stream-lined anti-malware system that allows workers that remember to frequently update.
  • Network-wide filtering: You can manually add keywords that are filtered network wide to reduce the risk of spam or other unintended e-mails.
  • Easy-to-use scheduling: You can take advantage of Exchange Server's functionalities combined with the ease-of-use of Microsoft Outlook to quickly schedule meetings with colleagues anywhere in the world; you can even use this powerful organizational tandem to reserve conference rooms in your office.

Communication is a major factor in the success of a company; time lost is money lost and that quickly means job or contract lost. With Exchange Server, you can make communication issues a thing of the past, and one less issue to worry about: you can make sure that colleagues receive your e-mail using receipts, eliminate erroneous e-mail addresses by verifying them against the Exchange Server, or even organize meetings using shared calendars. You can keep track of teammates' schedules using their public calendar, which allows you to find out when someone is in the office and when he or she is available for meetings. You’ll never feel in the dark with regards to your colleagues whereabouts or availability. As a user, you can also protect your privacy by hiding the contents of meeting or agenda items displayed on your calendar; Outlook will simply acknowledge whether or not you are busy, free, or out of office. Microsoft Exchange Server is a one-stop messaging solution that is perfect for companies of all sizes.

But wait a second… Exchange Server isn’t for everyone. Surprised? Don't be - this is a big-time solution that requires big-time planning. If you're looking for an out-of-the-box solution that is ready to go in 15 minutes, Exchange Server isn't the answer. If you are only planning on using Exchange Server’s features among two or three people, this might not be the most appropriate solution. Microsoft's Exchange Server is a robust communication solution that will help your company immensely - if implemented properly. It requires expert knowledge of additional Microsoft technologies, such as Active Directory, domain controllers, and .NET. It should only be implemented by true professionals with extensive Exchange experience.

Picking the right team to implement your solution is as important as picking the right solution for your company. Why waste money and man hours with untried competitors? Would you hire an inexperienced electrician to wire your house? This could lead to frustrating delays, extra equipment cost, inefficient implementation, and lost revenues for you.
