Microsoft Exchange is the world's most popular business messaging platform, with almost 60% of the market. It boosts company
productivity through advanced features like always-synced email, files, calendars and contacts, mobile access on devices such
as the Blackberry etc, advanced webmail, shared calendars that let employees see colleagues availability to
schedule or rearrange meetings, book conference rooms and plan projects, shared task lists that allow "to do" lists to be created
and assigned, then shared with team members and shared contacts which guarantee that customers contact details will never
be lost or misplaced.

Unfortunately, for most SMBs, the cost of running an MS Exchange server "in-house" is simply too much. Upfront costs can
exceed $10,000, plus staff time to maintain the server. This is why "hosted Exchange" makes sense for smaller businesses. Exchange
server hosting means that a specialist IT company runs the technology and charges businesses a small monthly fee to use it. This allows
them to enjoy the same enterprise-strength IT that Fortune 500 companies have, but at a price they can afford.
Through UnitSpeed Host's Microsoft Exchange 2007 hosting, the smallest companies can benefit from powerful business email
and collaboration starting as low as $11.95 per mailbox on UnitSpeed Host's EMC SAN storage and clustered servers for maximum resilience. If
one mail server is down your mail will still work because of UnitSpeed Hosts cluster and storage system.

Add SharePoint hosting to your Exchange email hosting for instant, simple collaboration.
Microsoft SharePoint lets your staff collaborate via the web. It creates an online space where your employees can log in
and share information from any place and at any time. SharePoint is a great
|
way to share documents and collaborate on projects and processes via the web.
UnitSpeed Host SharePoint hosting with Microsoft Exchange includes the following features and pre-configured, ready-to-use components:
- Integrated with Exchange.
Your users can access your intranet website using the same usernames and
passwords as their Exchange mailbox. You can block anonymous access to prevent unauthorized visitors.
- Document libraries.
Upload and store files and documents. Users can create as many document libraries as needed.
- Microsoft Office system integration.
Employees can collaborate with one another using familiar Office programs –
rather than having to adopt new tools.
- Document collaboration.
Create document collaboration spaces, where all users have access to the latest revisions. Document
changes are tracked and assigned different version numbers. Individual users can reserve documents for updating purposes.
- Pre-configured distribution lists.
Embedded list functionality allows users to share information. SharePoint Services
has several pre-configured, customizable lists, such as Contacts, Events, Announcements and Tasks.
- Subscriptions and notifications.
Users can subscribe to notification lists for documents or document libraries.
These users will receive alerts when materials are updated.
