TechDogs Avatar

So, you've been tasked with managing a company's digital messaging and collaboration needs. What do you do? You could turn to Google and start Googling or you could check out our product: Exchange! With Exchange, you'll easily manage your company's messaging and collaboration needs in one easy-to-use application. Microsoft Exchange is a collection of applications that enable digital messaging and collaboration in an enterprise IT environment. The Exchange Server role provides messaging services accessible from anywhere on the Internet or over your corporate network. The Microsoft Exchange Transport service handles the routing of messages between servers, which includes incoming and outgoing mail flow, message delivery, and proxy services. Microsoft Exchange is an email program that keeps you in touch with friends, family, and clients. The software also lets you keep track of your appointments with Outlook. But don't let its name fool you. Microsoft Exchange is more than just an email program. It's also a personal information manager (PIM). Microsoft Exchange is more than just an email program because it makes it easy to keep track of all your important contacts' birthdays and anniversaries. The built-in calendar feature allows you to schedule meetings and appointments with your colleagues, clients, or friends. In a Microsoft Exchange messaging system/environment, Microsoft Exchange Server is installed on a Windows Server operating system. It provides server-side services and features, whereas Microsoft Exchange Client is installed at client nodes. Each incoming email is received at the Exchange Server and then routed to the destination client. Microsoft Exchange enables an organization to configure and host email and collaboration services. In addition to providing messaging services for email, it can also be configured to provide calendaring, contacts, tasks and other collaboration tools. The best part about cloud-based software is that it's in the cloud. So you can access it anywhere!
