Hosted Microsoft Exchange

E-mail/Calendaring/Contact Management/Complete Outlook Functionality

Hosted Microsoft Exchange can help businesses to benefit significantly from the up-front cost of deployment and the ongoing expense of maintaining servers, hardware licenses, and the upgrades necessary to support a reliable Exchange infrastructure in house. That is why more organizations are turning to the messaging experts at BAE Systems for their secure email hosting requirements.

Support Bay sells and supports Hosted Exchange services. This allows businesses who do not want to invest in a regular Exchange Server, or Small Business Server, to untilize full-blown Exchange functionality via individual accounts on a shared Exchange server. This functionality includes shared and private e-mail, calendaring, tasks, notes, contacts, and more.

Who Uses Hosted Exchange and Why?

Hosted Exchange is a viable option for organizations that want to harness the power of an Exchange server but don't want to pay for a full server license, buy the appropriate hardware and deal with the maintenance. Basically, you are buying a seat on a big shared Exchange server.

A Hosted Exchange plan typically costs between $10 and $20 per month. That cost typically includes a centralized e-mail server that stores email, contacts, appointments, notes, and tasks all in one place. You can have this information synchronized (via Direct Push synchronization) with multiple mobile devices such as the iPhone ,Blackberry, or Android, as well as your Outlook client or through the web interface. When traveling, the web interface is a very convenient feature and the increase in mobile productivity may be worth the price all by itself.

When working with on projects with external clients, you might also benefit from Sharepoint capabilities that are often bundled with a Hosted Exchange account. SharePoint combines a centralized document repository with collaboration, project tracking, and content management tools. Using SharePoint, you can easily and efficiently manage projects and enhance the flow of communication in your business.
