Here are a few things you won’t hear too often if you support your company’s email system:
“Take your time, it’s just my email.”
“Oops, I deleted that message. My bad.”
“Those spam messages are so clever.”
“Thank you.”
For many organizations the email system is the backbone of communications. And today’s email systems are moving from simple email toward fully integrated messaging systems, allowing users access anytime, anywhere from a variety of device types.
As the demands for messaging increase, many organizations are forced to reevaluate their messaging infrastructure. The number of emails, spam, viruses, malware, file sizes, device types, regulations, and user expectations are all on the rise. However, IT personnel numbers and budgets are typically not. Fortunately, there are hardware, software and services solutions available today to meet these demands and to help prepare organizations of all sizes for the future.
The leading messaging platform for businesses today is Microsoft® Exchange Server. Each new version of Exchange has provided improvements in functionality, security, accessibility and performance. Late last year Microsoft introduced the latest version, Exchange Server 2007, designed to meet the increasing demands of messaging infrastructure and to provide a solid platform for the future.
Exchange Server 2007 provides three key enhancement areas and benefits*: Anywhere Access; Operational Efficiency; and Built-In Protection.
- Anywhere Access provides support for mobile and web based messaging, unified messaging, and helps improve collaboration and productivity through improved calendaring functions and simplified access to documents.
- Operational Efficiency offers improved IT productivity through simplified deployment and management, and scalable performance allowing more mailboxes per server and storage flexibility.
- Built-In Protection is provided via integrated antivirus, anti-spam, and anti-phishing technologies, new compliance capabilities, and improved business continuity with new continuous replication capabilities.

Whether migrating from a previous version of Exchange or a competitive application, businesses should consider a technology partner that can provide the complete Exchange Server 2007 solution. For some businesses new servers, storage and operating systems will be required, as Exchange Server 2007 is a 64-bit application. Organizations will want to make sure that the hardware elements have been tested and validated to perform optimally with Exchange Server 2007, and that the vendor partner can not only support the solution but also help plan, implement and optimize Exchange Server 2007.
