What is
Microsoft Exchange?
|
|
Microsoft Exchange is an
email centric system that provides integrated
messaging capabilities, public folders for group
discussions and Internet connectivity in order
to support activities such as group scheduling
and document sharing. |
| |
|
Backgrounds |
| |
Until recently
Microsoft Exchange has been aimed at the larger
corporate market due to the relatively high costs
of implementation.
Now for the first time, Microsoft Exchange is
a cost-effective proposition for smaller businesses
looking to benefit from collaborative working.

Outlook
vs Exchange |
| |
If you own
a copy of Microsoft Office, the chances are that
you already use Outlook to manage your personal
information; address book, email, calendar ...
By using Microsoft Exchange you can benefit from
the features of Outlook plus the ability to work
collaboratively "share information with other
users".
Microsoft Exchange lets you access everyone's
Outlook information. Check to see when you can
get together for a meeting, share important customer
details and work together on proposals.
You can access your Outlook account through a
secure web interface using Outlook Web Access
(OWA), allowing you to check emails, diaries and
contacts from any Internet enabled PC. |
