Microsoft Exchange is a professional email platform, which offers access to business email, calendar, task list and contact information through the popular Microsoft Outlook application. Users can access this information through a desktop computer, laptop, or remotely via a BlackBerry or Windows Mobile device.
For Microsoft Exchange to work, it has to be ‘hosted’ on a server. A server is a piece of computer equipment, which is dedicated to particular software application, in this case, Microsoft Exchange.
When looking to implement Microsoft Exchange, there are two options. An in-house Exchange Server can be implemented, however, this requires expensive set up costs and constant support and maintenance. For this reason, many businesses choose to outsource the hosting of this server to a provider such as Outsourcery. This is a much less costly solution and removes the hassle and responsibility of an on-premise server, leaving you free to concentrate on your core business activities.
The main benefit of Hosted Exchange is that it gives businesses a professional email system, fully compatible with the widely used Microsoft Outlook application.
