Hosted Exchange, Saunders Business SolutionsA case for hosted exchange

In today’s environment we want to be as effective as possible especially if you are a small business. As a result you want to use the best tools available. Hosted exchange is that tool. Hosted exchange will dramatically improve your business efficiency in many ways. The greatest of which is communications and then scheduling and contact management.

With hosted exchange you have the ability to check your mailbox using Outlook on your desktop, your iPhone or smart phone and a web interface. Anything you do in any of those environments will be automatically reflected in the next environment that you access the calls all of the tools that you use to stay in touch with your customers and your business are linked to a single source that is accessed via the Internet. This alone will increase your productivity considerably since you may receive an e-mail at the office and into the e-mail from your iPhone then when you get back to the office your response will be in your Outlook there is well.  Another benefit for having hosted exchange is the ability to share information with other colleagues. if you have an administrative assistant and you would like for that person to be able to add information or edit information in your calendar, they can do that whether they are in your office or in another office. The same is true with your e-mails and your contacts.

Another huge benefit the hosted exchange is that there is no capital expense for servers, software or technical support. You pay one price per month that is very reasonable and all of your information is maintained for you in a secure control environment. All of your e-mails calendars and contacts are backed up on a regular basis and secure. All of this information is monitored 24/7 and if there is a problem you have one number to call to get your answers. To set up a hosted exchange server with the softwaregenerally starts at around $4000 and goes up from there. That price does not include the high-priced technical support that you would need to set it up and to maintain the server. It also does not include the software needed to back up the software.

Every business that has multiple employees and or has multiple locations would benefit tremendously using hosted exchange. Feel free to give us a call and will be glad to discuss any questions you may have concerning this service.
