Microsoft Exchange Server is the most popular email and collaboration platform for business. It helps business better communicate with partners and customers, and boosts employee productivity. However, building and managing an Exchange server environment is costly and complex. It requires a large investment in hardware, software, and technical expertise to install it, configure it, and manage it on a daily basis. Exchange hosting allows you to enjoy all the productivity and collaborative benefits of Exchange, without any of the frustrations of managing it in-house.

Microsoft Outlook-Exchange lets employees share information and work together productively, in a way that is otherwise impossible. It allows users to share information, either using Outlook on their desktops or Outlook Web Access through a web browser. It enables Outlook's most important features for collaboration - 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.

Microsoft Outlook-Exchange is popular due to its user-friendliness and its advanced features, which boost productivity:

Up-to-date: Exchange stores everything centrally, so you always see the latest version of your email, files, calendar and contacts.
Shared calendars: Lets employees see colleagues' availability to schedule or rearrange meetings, book conference rooms, and plan projects. Users can share their calendar information with others and view multiple calendars simultaneously to send meeting requests for shared open times. Recipients can decline or propose a different time, or accept and have the meeting automatically entered in their calendars.
Shared task lists: Allows ‘to do’ lists to be created and assigned, then shared with team members. Users can track progress as a task moves from active to complete to overdue, while managing status through various criteria like the person responsible and the category.
Shared contacts: Company or shared address books means your customers‘ contact details will never be lost or misplaced.

Exchange Server allows to use public folders to share particular files and control who can view, add or edit the information within each folder.

Public Folders were introduced in the first version of Exchange as a solution for sharing, discussion list archives, and as a platform for custom applications. Public folders are a shared resource for instantaneous storage of digital content and communications. Any user with access privileges can retrieve and contribute information from a public folder while working in Outlook. Rather than e-mailing file attachments back and forth, they can be stored in a common location for sharing and discussion.

Keeping It Clean. Hosted Exchange helps to protect you and your organization from unwanted spam and viruses!

Exchange was designed for optimal security and privacy, with a variety of features at both the server and mailbox level. Outlook 2007 and Exchange Server 2007 work together providing the latest in active messaging protection to curb unwanted spam and viruses, giving you more confidence in the security of your messages. Exchange Server acts as the first scan on incoming messages and disables links or URLs in the message if required. New anti-phishing capabilities also help prevent phishing messaging from reaching you in the first place.

Anti-spam features include support of real-time Safe and Block lists and both server-side and client-side message filtering in Outlook to help reduce the amount of unsolicited junk e-mail messages.
