Outlook Exchange
Some businesses use other products instead of Exchange. This works more like Microsoft Exchange, but is lacking in ease-of-use and is not compatible with Microsoft Outlook.
Outlook-Exchange Features
Microsoft Outlook-Exchange is popular due to its user-friendliness and its advanced features, which boost productivity:
Up-to-date: Exchange stores everything centrally, so you always see the latest version of your email, files, calendar and contacts
Mobile access: Exchange is the software that powers email for handhelds like the latest BlackBerry®, Treo or Windows Mobile devices. It also offers sophisticated Web mail, so you will always be synced with your team.
Shared calendars: Lets employees see colleagues' availability to schedule or rearrange meetings, book conference rooms, and plan projects
Shared task lists: Allows ‘to do’ lists to be created and assigned, then shared with team members. Managers can check off items as they are completed
Shared contacts: Company or shared address books means your customer's contact details will never be lost or misplaced
Microsoft Outlook-Exchange lets employees share information and work together productively, in a way that is otherwise impossible.
