[Product of the Week] Exchange Online

Windows Exchange Server has long been the benchmark to which all other email servers are judged.

Exchange Online was designed for organizations that want to get the benefits of cloud-based email with the robust capabilities of an on-premises Exchange deployment.

The service provides the core features of Microsoft Exchange Server, so you and your users get the same familiar and powerful Exchange features that millions of users rely on in their on-premises email systems today.
Here are some of its key features;
Increasing user productivity
Today’s workers are far more mobile than they’ve ever been. Exchange Online meets these demands head on. It delivers anywhere access, enabling users to connect to mailboxes with a consistent experience across PC, phone, and browser.
Powerful Calendaring
Exchange Online also has the enhanced calendaring features you’ve used with Exchange. Effective shared calendaring is crucial to productivity. Exchange Online provides the same enterprise-class calendaring features as Exchange Server, with support for delegate access to mailboxes and calendars, which is essential for executive assistants and others who manage shared resources.
Collaboration
Another feature that has been improved upon is collaboration with others. Workers in a team need robust collaboration tools to work together effectively across time and distance. Exchange Online provides access to the Global Address List (GAL) to make it easy for people to find and contact one another—even outside contractors or others who need to be in your company directory. Personal and shared distribution lists provide easy ways for people and teams to stay in touch. And, support for shared mailboxes and delegated mailbox access provides flexibility in sharing resources.
Easy Administration
Exchange Server makes email much easier to use and administer. Exchange Online provides easier and more complete administration of email.  It eliminates server maintenance while providing rich web-based tools for customizing Exchange Online features and settings.
Easy Migration
When a user gets a new computer, there is no need to manually move the email and address lists from the old PC to the new PC. With Exchange Server, you just tell the new PC which mailbox you want to access on the server. This completely speeds up the migration process and saves you money in the initial setup
