- Sam has an assistant who answers the phone and sets appointments. Using
Exchange hosting, the assistant can manage Sam's appointment calendar since
Sam's Outlook calendar is shared. Sam can view and change these appointments
from his computer. Sam also has an iPhone.
All e-mail, contacts, and calendar events automatically synchronize to his iPhone.
If Sam
gets a call from a client who needs to change their meeting time, he can
review the current meeting time on his iPhone and enter a new time. Within a
few minutes, this change is synchronized on the office computer. The
assistant also sees the change avoiding setting conflicting appointments.
Sam never misses an appointment since Outlook and his iPhone remind him with
appointment reminders.
- Sally has a laptop computer, an office computer, and a home
computer. She uses the office computer most of the time to read e-mail, schedule appointments, and lookup
contacts. Using Exchange hosting, Sally can take her Internet enabled laptop
with her and continue to have all her Outlook folders with her on-the-go.
Any changes she makes on the laptop will automatically be updated on both the
office and home computers. If Sally runs out of time working on an
important e-mail at the office, she can continue from home since the same
draft message will be ready to finish on the home computer.
- The Trident company has 8 employees. Using Exchange hosting, they use a group calendar to schedule company business. Everyone can
view the
calendar at the office using Microsoft Outlook and from any
Internet computer using
Microsoft
Outlook Web Access. The company is also working on a new proposal. The
proposal contains Microsoft Word documents and Microsoft Excel spreadsheets.
These documents can be viewed and edited by the team from any Internet
computer with Microsoft Office.
- Austin comes to work one morning and finds his computer won't start up.
Using Exchange hosting, it's not a problem. Austin can access his e-mail,
contacts, and calendar from another computer using
Microsoft
Outlook Web Access and keep business going. Since all the data is stored
on the server, Austin does not worry about losing important Outlook
information.
