Hosted Exchange
Microsoft Exchange Server is a centralized email hosting service that synchronizes across all devices - PCs, Macs, iPhones, Android, Windows Phone and Blackberry. However, email is not the only feature of Microsoft Exchange. It has calendar and task management features, and it even has centralized contact storage. If you have a business then Microsoft Exchange is the way forwards to a business that has strong communication and organization.

An Exchange Server requires a lot of maintenance including hardware, software and service maintenance. There is a large upfront cost for the exchange server and always the worry of the hardware or software failing. Usually IT Support is required to monitor the Exchange Servers status. |

Management & Control |
Hosted Exchange is available from a single, web based panel. With all information available wherever you may be, as long as you have an internet connection. |
You get the greatest degree of control and customisation on your configuration when you manage your on premises servers including complete visibility into the deployment down to the level of server logs. However, this demands time to be able to control and manage the server’s services. For the information to be available on particular applications or mobile devices, add-ons or subscriptions may need to be purchased. |
