Key Features of Exchange Online Consulting That You Can’t Afford To Miss Out On
1. Serious ROI
Making the move to Exchange Online can save your organization lots of money. That’s because email servers are a huge infrastructure expenditure. Moreover, they require lots of ongoing maintenance and renovations to keep them functional.
Migrating to Exchange Online puts an end to most of that. Instead, for the cost of the subscription, most of your server issues will be a thing of the past. You won’t need server maintenance anymore. And you won’t need to install new updates ever again.
2. Security
Possibly the most significant advantage that Exchange brings to your business is its air-tight security. Microsoft Office 365 Secure Productive Enterprise brings together a suite of critical business applications. Your team will be better able to collaborate on the fly. Plus, you’ll have peace of mind based on the platform’s security, compliance, and trust.
Microsoft has spent billions of dollars on Exchange Online’s data security offering. Their investment guarantees that your emails are more secure inside Microsoft’s protected cloud than they would be in your own on-premises server.
Exchange is additionally compliant with all major compliance standards, such as ISO 27001, HIPAA and FISMA.
3. Performance
When it comes to simplicity, ease of use, and enhanced functionality, no other email system can match Exchange Online. That’s because Exchange Online provides quick, intuitive, and convenient email controls. Its smart look-ups allow you to quickly find emails within your system. Moreover, you can perform searches by keyword, author, or date. This allows for quick and accurate search results.
Personal emails and other systems can become bombarded with unsafe junk and spam emails before you know it. However, the Exchange Online spam filter makes certain that only legitimate emails arrive in your inbox.
Exchange Online is accessible across platforms such as mobile and tablets. Additionally, it is fully integrated with Microsoft’s cloud service. This means that wherever you have an Internet connection, you will have access to your emails. Learn more about Exchange to Office 365 Migration.
