I want to be able to share calendars with my co-workers

I need to be able to let my co-workers see the specifics of my schedule, whilst still being able to keep some appointments private.  I do not want to maintain a second calendar for my personal life.

Our team's schedules are constantly changing during the day.  We have no way to currently keep up with all of these changes so that we can accurately schedule Client and Vendor meetings.  This is costing us a lot of time.  We spend a lot of time calling people back to reschedule.

I want to be able to schedule a meeting right away, not get back to people and spend all of my time playing phone tag.

I want to reduce the number of double bookings that I get in my schedule - where a co-worker books me in a meeting at the same time as I schedule a different meeting for myself.

I need to not only see that my co-workers are busy, I need to see where they are and who they are with.

I need to be able to manage my calendar and also see those of my spouse and kids.  Our family is going crazy trying to keep life together.  Our schedules are always changing and we do not have the time to update each other by phone all the time.

All of these needs are critical in today's busy world.  Microsoft's Exchange Server provides the solution to these needs in a hosted environment.  You just get to use it to meet your needs.  Secure and usable, online and offline, from anywhere with a high speed internet connection.  Nothing complicated.  Highly productive.

I want to be able to share contacts with my co-workers

I need to be able to let my co-workers access my list of contacts, and I need to be able to access theirs - especially when we are covering for each other because someone is on vacation or abroad on a business trip.

I don't want a full Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system.  We just need to be able see and share each others contacts when we need to.

Who has time to chase down team members and wait for a response when there is an urgent need to communicate with an important Client or prospect?  Microsoft's Exchange Server empowers organizations to share these easily and securely, online and offline, with nothing complex for the people using it.

I want to be able to share standard documents with my co-workers

I need to be able to make standard templates and marketing materials available for our sales people.  These people are always on the move and will not take the time to log into a specific portal ...but they live and breathe through their email.

Microsoft's Exchange Server's public folders allows documents to be stored in a common location accessible to all relevant users in your organization.  This allows you to keep them up to date with just the latest version available and where it is simple for people to get to them both online and when they are offline.  No more trying to email large documents out to everyone, just put it in one place for them to use it when they need it.

I want to be able to get my email, schedule and contacts on my cell phone

I need to be able to receive, read and respond to my email whilst I am on the move.  I do not have time to start up a laptop and find a place to connect from.  I have to be responsive to my team and my customers.  I need to be able to see my existing appointments and meetings, and be able to commit to new ones, without hauling along a laptop.  I need to be able to look up a contact and place a call directly to them, no matter where I am.

This is one of our fastest growing customer requests - to provide these significant productivity benefits to highly mobile people.  Microsoft's Exchange Server provides this, especially in a hosted environment, and the service can be provided to a Windows PocketPC phone, Windows Smartphone, Palm phone, or BlackBerry phone (you will need an appropriate data plan from your cellular service provider, and BlackBerry devices need an additional BlackBerry Enterprise Server subscription for "push" capability).
