MICROSOFT EXCHANGE SERVER
Microsoft Exchange Server is so much more than just another e-mail server. When used with Microsoft Outlook, it offers shared calendars and Public folders allowing you to share project documents amongst team members, removing the need to e-mail documents around and having several conflicting copies in use. Outlook also allows you to have a local copy of your Inbox, ideal for mobile employees out on the road with their laptop.
We are experts in planning and installing Microsoft Exchange Server. We know precisely how to keep an Exchange instance fast and secure. If you are thinking of installing Exchange to replace an existing non-Microsoft e-mail server, then please call us and we can advise you. It may well be possible to migrate from your existing software into Microsoft Exchange Server
Microsoft Exchange Server also ships with Microsoft Outlook Web Access, which is a feature-rich web client, giving nearly all of the functionality of the Outlook desktop client. Outlook Web Access allows you to access your e-mail, calendars, contacts and public folders. Employees can be at their desk wherever they are in the world, at the airport or even on the plane.
Microsoft Exchange Server now supports the Messaging and Security Feature Pack 2.0 (MSFP 2.0), and the latest Windows Mobile 5.0 devices support full push e-mail" functionality on Windows Mobile 5.0 devices. This really is great technology. It provides the ability to receive your e-mail via a mobile device the moment it arrives on the server. Your Outlook calendar, contacts and tasks are also synchronised automatically, "over the air", via GPRS. It's not like the old days where you had to plug your PDA into a cradle and manually synchronise. Now you know that your phone is 100 percent up to date.

SHAREPOINT
Microsoft SharePoint Technologies provide a logical framework, based off web part technology, for business users to easily create sites and share critical business information easily and quickly. Microsoft's SharePoint Technologies are comprised of two different versions: Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS). Both solutions bring its users the following benefits:
Team Collaboration
SharePoint is an easy to use medium to build collaborative sites based on web parts to share data, files, and information. Since everything is accessed and done through your web browser and other productivity tools like Microsoft Office 2007, work is made easier and familiar.
Alerts
Users can automatically mark documents, libraries, list items, or entire lists provide real-time alerts to send updates via email when content is added, deleted, or updated.
Audience Targeting
Both SharePoint technologies works with your existing Windows based security schema and provides the ability to target specific pages, libraries, lists and webparts to a filtered audience.
Search
The SharePoint technologies search capabilities provide users with the ability to look for the information they request and find it quickly. This intuitive search mechanism checks for filenames, page content and even content within uploaded documents and files!
Web Part Framework
A Web Part is a Microsoft ASP.NET server control that serves a particular purpose, such as displaying data from a spreadsheet or streaming stock quotations from an online Web service. Web Parts are inserted in Web Part zones on Web Part Pages. Web Part zones are containers for Web Parts that group and organize Web Parts and provide a set of properties that configure the Web Parts in that zone. Web Part Pages consolidate data and Web content through Web Part zones to create dynamic information portals.
While custom web parts can be created, powerful existing web parts come out of the box including:
Document Libraries
Picture Libraries
Lists
Calendar
Wikis
Blogs
Surveys
Discussion Threads
