  • Protect the data you need to generate revenue. Just as financial assets are kept in a bank, your business email, calendars, and contacts should be kept in a datacenter. Intermedia protects our customers’ information in four datacenters.

Why Hosted Exchange?

Microsoft Exchange server is the most popular email and collaboration platform for business. It helps business better communicate with partners and customers, and boosts employee productivity. However, building and managing an Exchange server environment is costly and complex. It requires a large investment in hardware, software, and technical expertise to install it, configure it, and manage it on a daily basis. Exchange hosting allows SMBs to enjoy all the productivity and collaborative benefits of Exchange, without any of the frustrations of managing it in-house.

Why Intermedia Exchange Hosting?

Email is a critical communications tool for SMBs, often more important than the telephone. Intermedia understands this and is exclusively focused on providing the highest quality and reliable Exchange hosting service. Intermedia was the first company to offer Exchange hosting 10 years ago, and today hosts over 200,000 premium Exchange mailboxes – and 400,000 mailboxes overall. Our experience has made us experts in providing enterprise quality service. Intermedia’s four world-class datacenters hosts a premium infrastructure that delivers 99.999% reliability to ensure your email is working when you need it most – always.

The flow of email in most companies is constantly increasing—the average corporate email user sends and receives 167 messages per day. To comply with regulatory requirements, a company must give employees constant access to their email accounts and retain copies of every important email, which makes managing email more difficult than ever.

Since email contains so much valuable information, many employees are reluctant to delete old messages. They create their own “personal email filing cabinets” using Personal Storage Table (PST) files. Since these files are stored on users’ work stations rather than on a centralized server, they present difficult management challenges and business risks. For example, with PST files stored on many computers throughout a company, searching for and retrieving important information can be very difficult. PST files can have a huge impact on a company’s storage and back-up requirements; they’re susceptible to loss and corruption of data; and they can increase the cost and effort of discovery in the event of litigation.

Most companies impose quotas that limit the amount of storage each employee can use for emails. Without these quotas, server disk drives would overflow and email systems would crash. As email volumes rapidly grow, a hosted archiving solution can solve a number of problems, including controlling and managing the steady growth of email messages; helping to guard against data loss; and enabling organizations to comply with document-retention regulations.

We can assure you that the collaborative effect of Google Apps on your organization is well worth the effort.

Many companies do a great job hosting Exchange, but business people have a difficult time deploying without help. Google Apps at $50 per user per year hits a nerve with an SMB market used to $100s of dollars per year per user with Exchange.

Email

Email, Messaging and Internet access are the most mission critical needs we have for modern business to stay competitive and be successful. Only a few short years ago, business could get by with private networks and not be too concerned with the Internet. That’s no longer the case.

More transactions are conducted across the Internet than are conducted using the telephone. Business can no longer afford to have third rate messaging, email or Internet communications access.

An astute businessperson can leverage the lessons learned by Fortune 500 companies and other large corporations, because you now have access to vast amounts of systems information on the Internet and newly developed resources. But, information overload can come quickly and you can become quite confused about your options.

So, we would advise you to remember these significant points:

1 – Get the notion of building and managing in-house EMAIL and MESSAGING systems out of your mind. When was the last time you constructed a car to drive around town? Probably, High School was your time to experiment and play with cars. You cannot afford to experiment and play with EMAIL and MESSAGING systems.

2 – Websites are for business. Internet access is for business. Take a business perspective to considerations relating to the WEB. Just as you would build a fence around your place of business and the property you are trying to protect, place security perimeters around everything concerning the Internet.

Yes we can build an email server and locate it in your business’s air conditioned telco equipment closet. We can even build and manage a full blown Microsoft Exchange Server or a Small Business Server for your business. But, the landscape changed. It’s no longer economically feasible for you to utilize a local server.

Today, better methods and many options are available to you, technologies that were not even around just a few short years ago. You might consider taking a hard look at Google Apps or consider Exchange. When you’re ready for a seamless transition away from email headaches, contact us.
