Messaging is now a mission critical application for business, but delivering a feature-rich messaging service is challenging.
Regulatory requirements are becoming increasingly complex. Merger and divestiture activities require rapid adjustment of service capacity. Good technical expertise is in high demand. The “buy versus build” economics are changing. Microsoft Exchange Online is a Microsoft hosted enterprise messaging service based on Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 that helps deliver the protection your company demands and the anywhere access employees want. Exchange Online leverages our knowledge of Microsoft products, best practices developed with customers and partners, and experience from operating Microsoft’s internal corporate messaging to deliver a world-class, mission-critical service. Microsoft handles setup, provisioning, ongoing maintenance and upgrades of your Exchange Server Infrastructure reducing workload on your IT resources and enabling them to focus on core strategic initiatives that move your business forward.
How it Works
Exchange Online leverages geographically dispersed data centers. Each data center houses a reliable redundant infrastructure needed to support the service. Exchange Online helps simplify IT management by removing customers’ need to deploy, configure, monitor and update/upgrade an e-mail solution on premises. For customers with on premises active directory, the directory synchronization tool helps keep the on premises and online Active Directories in sync. This enables IT departments to support a mix of users from the on premises e-mail server and users from the online service. We provide migration tools that help in moving your company mailbox data into the Microsoft Online environment. With Microsoft Exchange Online, your enterprise can be up and running quickly.
