Hosted Exchange - Definition |
Microsoft Hosted Exchange from EBA is the email
solution designed to help small and medium companies:
· Access information, even when out of the office
· Get more out of an email system so that employees can
get more done
· Gain the peace of mind that comes from a professionally
managed service
With Microsoft Exchange as the mail server and Microsoft
Outlook as your client, your employees can do more than send and receive email –
they can share calendars, folders and contacts. Outlook is available for
desktop, browser, and mobile access so you’re always connected, whether you’re
in the office, traveling, or working at home. And since you always connect to
the same Exchange server, your inbox stays synchronized, no matter which Outlook
client you’re using.
When you choose Hosted Exchange from EBA, you can rest
assured, knowing your email system is always secure, always backed-up and always
available with our:
· State-of-the-art security and privacy
· High reliability and performance
· Outstanding administration and support
Implementing and
managing Microsoft Exchange in-house has been cost-prohibitive and out-of-reach
for most small-medium businesses.
Hosted Exchange is suitable for even the smallest
companies with only a few employees. You gain all the power with none of the
pain when you choose Microsoft Hosted Exchange from EBA. |

The Power of Exchange and Outlook |
The combination of Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft Outlook includes rich
functionality for sorting, prioritizing, delegating and managing e-mail that
allows you to take control of your inbox.
The service helps your employees get more done by providing:
· Group calendars that streamline scheduling by exposing free or busy times for
your employees as well as your shared resources like meeting rooms
· Address books for maintaining and sharing company-wide contact
information
· Public folders for organizing and sharing files
· Task lists for basic project management and coordinating activities
Microsoft Outlook is available as a Windows desktop client, as well as Outlook
Web Access (OWA) for access from any computer with a web browser and Internet
connection, and Outlook Mobile Access (OMA) for web-browser enabled mobile
devices. OWA and OMA allow people who are home or on the road to have access to
the same information as on-location employees. The user interfaces have been
designed to look and feel as similar as possible, making it easy to switch from
one to the other with no added learning curve. And everything stays
synchronized, whether you are managing your inbox from your computer, your
mobile device or any web browser. |

Security |
Microsoft Hosted Exchange, a business-class e-mail
solution from EBA, addresses your core e-mail and messaging security concerns on
two fronts:
1) Microsoft Exchange Server was designed with security
built-in – features include secure defaults, improved ability to restrict
connections and messages, automatic logging off from Outlook Web Access, support
for Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (S/MIME), attachment blocking,
Block Sender lists and a new Virus Scanning API for improved antivirus
protection.
2) EBA has architected a hosting infrastructure with security as the primary
design consideration across all components, from logical to physical to people
and processes. Key features include:
o User authentication and multiple levels of password authorization to ensure
that only authorized users can gain access
o Daily backups stored securely offsite for data recovery
o Encryption of data during network transit and storage, using standard
protocols like SSL (Secure Sockets Layer).
o Network management software to facilitate preventative maintenance
o Back-up generators, fire suppression and other controls to protect against
physical downtime
o Note: List and possibly categorize salient security features – logical
components, physical components, people, processes, SLA and privacy terms, etc.
– that apply to your service.
With Hosted Exchange from EBA, only you have the key to your information. The
security and confidentiality of your data is our top concern. |

Mobility by Microsoft |
Microsoft Hosted Exchange, a business-class
messaging solution from EBA, meets today’s demand for mobility, keeping you
wirelessly connected and continuously in the loop while you’re on the go.
Frequent travelers can read, compose and act upon messages and attachments no
matter where they are – from client site to airport to coffee shop – while
maintaining a single mailbox that is always synchronized.
Windows Mobile
Windows Mobile uses Exchange Server ActiveSync and Outlook Mobile Access (OMA)
to put the power of Windows software into Pocket PC or SmartPhone devices.
ActiveSync is a protocol that allows applications to talk directly to the
Exchange Server in order to synchronize e-mail, calendar, and contacts. OMA
provides client access from web-browser enabled mobile devices. Together they
help you manage all of your information and communications while on the go.

Get More Done |
Most companies share information by sending email
messages back and forth. This works reasonably well if your company has two
people – beyond that it can quickly fall apart and lead to confusion and
frustration!
Effective teamwork requires a shared, centralized place to store information,
with common, authenticated access for authorized users. With this foundation,
your employees can do what’s expected of them, even when they’re traveling or
dispersed across multiple locations:
· Locate addresses and other contact information among shared lists that
everyone can view and edit.
· Arrange meetings by viewing free and busy schedules of participants, finding a
time that works for all, sending invitations, and tracking responses – with
details entered automatically into participant calendars for them.
· Manage projects across a workgroup with the ability to view timelines and
assignments while tracking items that are active, completed and overdue.
· Grant access to administrators and support staff in order to delegate tasks.
When you discover that sharing information by email no longer works for your
company, we invite you to discover Microsoft Hosted Exchange and other services
from EBA. |

Peace of Mind |
Email has become a high demand application used companywide, requiring
high around-the-clock availability. To stay competitive in today’s business
environment, you need sophisticated messaging tools with features like mobile
access and shared calendars. Yet these tools come with complex needs for
implementation, management and support.
Now you can enjoy the benefits of business class email in a ‘pay as you go’
model that allows you to scale up or down as needed, with no risk. Hosted
Exchange from EBA frees valuable capital, IT staff and other costly resources
for more effective, strategic use within your company.
With Hosted Exchange, no specialized technology skills are required.
Administrative tasks, like adding new mailboxes, are simplified so even
non-technical staff can handle them.
Quality of service backed by guaranteed service levels will bring you peace of
mind. And you get a messaging solution that is much more rich, reliable and
robust than basic Web mail.
When you are ready to offload the administration of your messaging system,
without giving up features or control, discover Hosted Exchange from EBA. |

Mobile Persona |
Are you maximizing the tools available that can make you a more productive
mobile executive?
Hosted Microsoft Exchange offers mobile communication benefits far beyond
sending and receiving e-mail at remote locations. Frequent travelers can read,
compose and act upon messages and attachments no matter where they are – from
client site to airport to coffee shop – while maintaining a single mailbox:
· Stay in touch and synchronized no matter which Outlook client you use – the
regular desktop version on your own PC, Outlook Web Access (OWA) from any
computer with a web browser and Internet connection, or Outlook Mobile Access
(OMA) from your web-browser enabled mobile device.
· Grant other people, such as administrative assistants, access to your mailbox
on your behalf when you have to be away from the office.
· Set up ‘rules’ for processing messages, like auto-responses and automatic
filing, to help you prioritize and manage limited e-mail time while traveling.
And like every other aspect of your hosted service, all the technical functions
are administered for you. So if your laptop is lost or stolen during travel, you
can count on a back-up of your inbox, ready to be restored for you by your
hosting provider. |
