Outlook is available for desktop, browser, and mobile access so you’re always connected, whether you’re in the office, traveling, or working at home. And since you always connect to the same Exchange server, your inbox stays synchronized, no matter which Outlook client you’re using.
Hosted Microsoft Exchange is suitable for even the smallest jurisdictions. You gain all the power with none of the pain and higher cost when you choose Hosted Microsoft Exchange from Manatron.
The Power of Exchange and Outlook
The combination of Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft Outlook includes rich functionality for sorting, prioritizing, delegating and managing e-mail that allows you to take control of your inbox. The service helps your staff get more done by providing:
• Group calendars that streamline scheduling by exposing free or busy times for your staff as well as your shared resources like meeting rooms
• Address books for maintaining and sharing company-wide contact information
• Public folders for organizing and sharing files
• Task lists for basic project management and coordinating activities
Microsoft Outlook is available as a Windows desktop client, as well as Outlook Web Access (OWA) for access from any computer with a web browser and Internet connection, and Outlook Mobile Access (OMA) for web-browser enabled mobile devices. OWA and OMA allow people who are home or on the road to have access to the same information as onlocation. The user interfaces have been designed to look and feel as similar as possible, making it easy to switch from one to the other with no added learning curve. And everything stays synchronized, whether you are managing your inbox from your computer, your mobile device or any web browser.
