In-House Corporate Email System Implementation
OVERVIEW: Corporate email brings with it the benefits of communication, collaboration, and corporate identity. Our preferred solution, Exchange Server, is designed to best operate with a client PC software application such as Microsoft’s Outlook, however, it also interoperates with Outlook Express and other e-mail client applications. E-mail messages are sent and received through client devices such as a personal computer, workstation, or a mobile device, including mobile phones or Pocket PCs (PDAs). Properly deployed, a user’s email is also accessible remotely, from any Internet browser, anywhere in the world.
Once deployed, Exchange Server offers your company integrated collaborative messaging features such as scheduling, contact, and task management. In coordination with your ISP, you can have mail sent directly to your in-house server (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, or SMTP), or use other methods such as Post Office Protocol 3 (POP3) and Internet Message Access Protocol 4 (IMAP4). Apollo Solutions can help you determine which is best for your organization. Microsoft Outlook Web Access, a service in Exchange Server, accommodates what are known as thin clients (Web browser–based access clients)to access mail. Exchange Server 2003, the newest version available, supports mobile devices such as Pocket PC and Smartphones and enables you to synchronize your Inbox, Calendar, and Contacts and Tasks lists so you can remotely check your appointments and other important information. Mobile device browsers are also supported through Exchange's Outlook Mobile Access, which enables HTML, compressed HTML (CHTML), and Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) browser–based devices to access Exchange Server. Exchange 2003 also has a SPAM filter available, to help users manage the seemingly endless onslaught of unsolicited mail. If you are using an older version of Exchange, Apollo Solutions can also handle the upgrade to allow you to take advantage of the latest features.
