WHAT IS HOSTED EXCHANGE?
Email has become one of the most frequently used business tools, with many customers relying on it more than their telephone to help them get through their work day.

WHY OUTSOURCE HOSTED EXCHANGE?
Unfortunately, for most SMBs (Small Medium Businesses), the cost of running a Microsoft Exchange server ‘in-house’ is simply too much.Upfront costs can exceed R100 000, plus staff time to maintain the server. This is why ‘managed Exchange hosting’ or ‘Exchange outsourcing’ makes sense for smaller businesses. Exchange email outsourcing allows businesses to enjoy the same enterprise-strength IT that Fortune 500 companies have, but at a price they can afford.
