Knowledge is paramount in today's business climate, and employees' responsiveness to information is fundamental in leveraging a business's knowledge. Microsoft's Exchange is a powerful collaboration tool that allows your employees to effectively and efficiently share information.  When used with Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Exchange not only increases productivity, it also reduces the cost of organisational communication.

Benefits of a Microsoft Exchange

Microsoft Exchange is the most popular email server in the world for the following reasons:

• You can work anytime, anywhere! Get full access to all of your e-mail folders, contacts, calendars, and files from any Microsoft Outlook or Internet browser.
• You can eliminate scheduling conflicts for resources such as meeting rooms and equipment.
• You can save email attachments in public folders to be shared with other team members.
• You can view multiple calendars side-by-side with shared calendars and schedules.
• You can view shared contacts and email distribution lists to improve external and internal communication.
• You can carry your contacts, calendar, notes and task list on the road in your PDA / smart phone or access them on an Internet PC through a browser. 
• You'll find completing tasks easier through Microsoft Outlook's intuitive mailbox design, which is also mirrored online via Microsoft Outlook Web Access and available from any Internet browser.
• Exchange provides support for HTML content blocking for security, as well as real-time block list service provider support, global deny and accept lists, inbound recipient filtering and advanced junk e-mail filtering capabilities. Not only is your data secure, the burden of unruly spam is greatly reduced, both of which enhance the bottom line.
• Microsoft Exchange integrates seamlessly with other Microsoft products such as SharePoint Services and because Microsoft Exchange is the most widely used email based collaboration tool on the market, hundreds of third parties have developed Microsoft Exchange enhancements to further customise the application for your needs.
