Outlook Professional

A business-grade email service that is based on Hosted Microsoft Exchange 2007 technologies.  Small businesses and consultants now have access to the kind of corporate email solution typically only seen in larger businesses.

one mailbox.  multiple access.

With OutlookProfessional you have the ability to grow your email requirements organically.  Start with a few mailboxes and multiple email aliases – and add more mailboxes as your business grows.  We will be able to configure the service to handle all of your different domain names and provide you with remote access to your email from your laptop, your home computer, or an Internet Cafe – plus you can get your emails when you are out-and-about on a Windows mobile phone or BlackBerry too.

To own and run your own Exchange server could cost you in the region of £12k a year – yet you can get all this power from just £10 per month!

Each laptop will be configured to run a local ‘cached’ version of the Exchange mailbox.  This will allow your team to work on their Outlook (inbox, mail-folders, calendar, contacts etc) on their laptop when travelling and all changes will synchronise with the Exchange Server on re-connection to the Internet (either at your offices on in any other location). 

In addition, access can be gained to the mailbox via a web interface (Outlook Web Access (OWA)) using a familiar Outlook 2007 interface within the browser window), or via a mobile phone (using Mobile Active-Sync on a Windows Mobile). 

Any changes made will be synchronised across all devices – this means if you read an email on your mobile phone or OWA, it will appear as ‘read’ on your PC too.  So will moving, replying or deleting the email.

Meetings can be scheduled, free-time information checked and minutes/agendas can be attached to calendar invitations (that appear in the recipient’s inboxes and calendars when sent).

And access can be granted for those members of your team staff who wish to view a colleague’s calendars, contacts or inbox directly.

All mailboxes are stored in two datacentres, linked with a failover service to ensure maximum uptime, plus full Disaster Recovery backups are taken to ensure that we can get everything back in the event of a major problem.  Couple this with a high-bandwidth, burstable connection straight onto the Internet and you’ve got a very resilient service that is easily accessible from anywhere in the world.
