Exchange vs. basic email

Smaller businesses typically start with POP email - the basic, no-frills email that has been common since the 1980s. Traditional email (POP) email is cheap, but offers none of Exchange's advanced functionality, like calendars, task lists, file-sharing or contacts. POP email is stored on your local PC, instead of on a central email server, so if you use different devices - like a desktop PC and a BlackBerry® - you will not see emails which came through to a different device.

Features of Microsoft Exchange

Microsoft Exchange is popular due to its user-friendliness and its advanced features, which boost productivity.

Up-to-date: Exchange stores everything centrally, so you always see the latest version of your email, files, calendar and contacts.

Mobile access: Exchange is the software that powers email for handhelds like the latest BlackBerry®, Anrdoid, iPhone, Treo or Windows Mobile devices. It also offers sophisticated Web mail, so you will always be synced with your team.

Shared calendars: Lets employees see colleagues' availability to schedule or rearrange meetings, book conference rooms, and plan projects.

Shared task lists: Allows 'to do' lists to be created and assigned, then shared with team members. Managers can check off items as they are completed.

Shared contacts: Company or shared address books means your customers' contact details will never be lost or misplaced.

Microsoft Exchange lets employees share information and work together productively, in a way that is otherwise impossible.
