Email

Email has come a long way in the past few years. However, many companies are still using technology that is out date. Upgrading your email system will allow you take advantage of these developments, ultimately making your life easier.

Microsoft Exchange Server

We believe in ease of communication and collaboration which is why we advocate the use of centralised and managed systems. Server side technologies like Exchange Server can help you realise the potential of some of the software that you probably already use. Microsoft Outlook, when integrated with Microsoft Exchange, becomes a powerful tool that includes a wealth of functionality. Examples of this include:

Shared calendars
Shared task lists
Access to common mailboxes and ability to share your email
Centralisation of contacts databases
Powerful junk-mail features
Access to your email remotely.

Webmail is a general term for accessing emails using a web browser. Hotmail and Yahoo Mail are both good examples of this. By using Microsoft Exchange, we can provide secure access to your internal email system from any computer in the world with an internet connection. This will give you visibility of your mailbox including new and old emails, the ability to access shared mailboxes, contact lists and even calendars.

Push Email is one of the most exciting developments in email technology it is the ability to send and receive emails on a mobile handset such as a mobile phone. Once you have used this technology, it will soon become an integral part of your business systems.

SPAM generally refers to electronic junk email, i.e. unsolicited email. As well as being annoying, spam also eats up network bandwidth. Because the internet is a public network, little can be done to prevent spam from being sent. However, there are a number of methods that can be employed to prevent spam ever arriving in your mailbox. Hosted Anti-Spam Services - One way to tackle spam is to use a hosted anti-spam protection service whereby your email is directed through an online anti-spam body before being sent onto you. All spam emails are detected and removed before they hit your server saving your bandwidth and processing power. Anti-spam Software - Another option is to host the anti-spam software on your own server. This is a more cost effective solution for smaller businesses with lower volumes of email.
