MS Exchange
Hosted Exchange Service
An organisation's email, calendar, contacts and collaboration systems can be great tools for increasing productivity both in the office and on the go. However, running your business communication platform in house can bring with it a number of problems and risks:
- Large financial commitment in software and hardware
- Ongoing IT support costs
- Backup headaches
- Security and connectivity risks
AIMES Grid Services offers a hosted business continuity and communication service based on Microsoft Exchange 2007 and our ISO 27001 approved data centre. Using our hosted service frees businesses to concentrate on their own operations and eliminates all the costs and risks associated with an in house communication platform.
Microsoft Exchange 2007 is the industry standard business communications and collaboration platform. It is designed from the ground up to assist businesses in communication across offices or the world more effectively.
Business class email
The Exchange 2007 core feature - business class email functionality facilitates communication between any number of employees and contacts. Aimes Grid Services can provide a Hosted Exchange Service package to suit your business both now and in the future.
Class leading collaboration features
Exchange 2007 offers class leading calendaring, scheduling and contact functionality allowing meetings to be instantly added to calendars helping a business to organise its time more effectively.
Functionality to go
Mobile device support is built in as standard to Exchange 2007. This allows complete access to your email, calendar and contacts through a mobile device such as a Windows Mobile device or Apple IPhone. All Hosted Exchange Service packages provided by Aimes Grid Services include mobile device functionality as standard.
Why Hosted Exchange?
Microsoft Exchange 2007 is a great communications and collaboration tool. However, it is also a very complex piece of technology and requires detailed technical knowledge to implement plus dedicated members of staff to monitor and maintain it. Businesses must also consider their exposure to email based viruses, spam and security issues like backup and archiving procedures.
Using a hosted exchange service allows a business to enjoy the functionality of Exchange while avoiding many of the pitfalls of hosting your Exchange server on site. The Hosted Exchange Service offers the following great benefits over a standalone Exchange server:
