Benefits of Hosted Microsoft Exchange

Microsoft Exchange is the world's most popular business messaging software, with almost 60% of the market. It boosts company productivity through advanced features like: always-synced email, files, calendars and contacts; mobile access on devices such as the BlackBerry, iPhone or other Windows Mobile or Android smartphones; advanced Web mail; shared calendars that let employees see colleagues’ availability to schedule or rearrange meetings, book conference rooms and plan projects; shared task lists that allow 'to do' lists to be created and assigned, then shared with team members; and shared contacts which guarantee that customers' contact details will never be lost or misplaced.

Why Exchange outsourcing?

Unfortunately, for most SMEs, the cost of running a Microsoft Exchange server 'in-house' is simply too much. Upfront costs can exceed £10,000, plus staff time to maintain the server. This is why 'managed Exchange hosting' or 'Exchange outsourcing' makes sense for smaller companies. Exchange server outsourcing means that a specialist IT company runs the technology and charges a small monthly fee for each employee or 'seat' using the service. Exchange email outsourcing allows businesses to enjoy the same enterprise-strength IT that FTSE 100 companies have, but at a price they can afford.

Exchange email outsourcing allows IT staff to worry about your business instead of your email. Also, through Exchange server outsourcing, you can rest assured that your email is safe and secure.

Through Mesh's managed Exchange 2010 service, the smallest companies can benefit from powerful business email and collaboration for a low monthly fee. Our 99.99% uptime guarantee and 24x7 world-class support from Microsoft Gold Certified expert support staff makes outsourcing Microsoft Exchange from Mesh a great choice for small companies that want big business IT.

Email communications are a crucial element of all business. Increasing government and industry regulation, as well as viruses and spam email are continually adding to the challenge of effective messaging security and management. We can eliminate the stress of running and maintaining Microsoft Exchange in-house, providing the following features and benefits.
