The ability to communicate among managers, workers, suppliers, contract employees, and across all departments almost instantly has increased production and communications drastically from days past when hand written memos were run from office to office.

But with the proliferation of email has come a myriad of applications to keep things running smoothly. Unfortunately, selecting the wrong application for the job, or choosing the wrong software company can have disastrous results in lost productivity and IT billings.

Luckily, Microsoft has long been on the forefront of email applications, with software offerings that are second to none. But, they too, have many to choose from, and finding the right ones will help greatly. And it should start with Microsoft Business Mail.
This application will provide all the features and benefits of the Microsoft Outlook that everyone is familiar with, but offer business email, calendar, and contacts to your laptop, desktop, or even mobile phone. If most emails are taken in the field rather than the office, integrating Business Email with Exchange 2010 will support a more ...
... seamless, comprehensive mobile email experience.

Regardless of how your workforce goes about the day, whether at their desk or in the field, Microsoft Exchange Hosted Services provides all the tools needed, from an online accessible application, to protect your business from not only spam and malware, but also encrypt the data to make sure that prying eyes aren't seeing confidential emails.
The EHS can also work hand in hand with hand with Microsoft email archiving for those whose lines of business may have their emails subpoenaed for whatever reason. The EHS and Archive will meet requirements for the retaining of the emails for legal discovery, and Archiving makes the process automatic and searchable, all while remaining compliant with all United States courts of jurisdiction. Email Archive can function in this regard on its own as well.

For those looking who would rather not deal with the hassles of maintaining their own email server, Microsoft hasn't forgotten about those businesses, either. Microsoft Exchange Online readily provides an online hosted email service that still gives you, the business owner, the flexibility and control you need along with the reliability and security that is vital to keeping your business safe.

Email, calendar, and contacts are delivered to desktops, laptops, the Internet, and mobile devices. IT professionals will love the online based tools for managing their use.
The capabilities of Microsoft Exchange Online can be further advanced by marrying it with Microsoft Share Point. Share Point offers the known Share Point server technology, only brought to your business online for accessibility from anywhere there is an internet connection. Using Share Point, employees can create sites to share projects and documents with their co workers, managers, principals, and even customers.

As has been demonstrated, Microsoft has many applications for making the flow of information as free as humanely possible. The ability of sharing appointments and meetings, along with contacts can be a great help in increasing production with a minimum of wasted time and energy as well. And Microsoft has something for everyone, whether it is a large company that can keep up it's own email and network servers, to the smaller businesses and even one man shop that would find the ability for easy access away from the office important.

So if it's based in the office, or out in cyberspace, Microsoft can and will provide the email and communications solutions needed to keep the business of the 21st Century in touch.
