HOSTING SERVICES

THE ADVANTAGES OF HOSTED EXCHANGEE-mail, collaboration and scheduling tools have become critical factors to the success of any business. Unfortunately, small- and mid-size businesses (SMBs) often lack the large IT budget or in-house teams to implement and maintain the sophisticated messaging software they need. Yet SMBs need this critical toolset in order to succeed in the marketplace. Microsoft Exchange is used by the majority of large corporations for their e-mail, calendars, contacts and files. Exchange powers the full collaboration functions of Microsoft Outlook 2010, such as group calendars, contacts and file sharing.

OUR HOSTED EXCHANGE 2010 SOLUTIONWe provide the latest version, Exchange 2010, as a hosted and fully managed service. We’ve removed the burden of running a world-class exchange platform by converting it to an on-demand and subscription-based service offering. Why pay tens of thousands of dollars in upfront capital for hardware software licenses plus hire resources to maintain your environment when you can achieve all of this and more for a low monthly service fee allowing you to focus on your core business.

Hosted Microsoft Exchange 2010 means that we provide all hardware and software, then run and maintain it for you in one of our hardened data centers. You pay a low monthly fee and can access your e-mail using Outlook® or Entourage® on your desktop, Outlook Web Access (OWA) in any web browser or wirelessly from BlackBerry®, iPhone, Windows Mobile or Android devices.
