What is managed Exchange
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.
- Mobile access: Exchange is the software that powers email for handhelds like the latest BlackBerry®, Treo or Windows Mobile devices. It also offers sophisticated Web mail, so you will always be synced with your team.
- Shared calendars: Lets employees see colleagues' availability to schedule or rearrange meetings, book conference rooms, and plan projects.
- Shared task lists: Allows ‘to do' lists to be created and assigned, then shared with team members. Managers can check off items as they are completed.
- Shared contacts: Company or shared address books means your customers‘ contact details will never be lost or misplaced.
