Why Hosted Exchange Packages Are Worth The Money

Very often, when we set about designing a plan to overhaul the IT for a small or

medium-sized business, implementing a hosted exchange package is one of the first recommendations we make. Because they tend to add very little to the cost of an ongoing IT plan, clients don't always give them a lot of thought.

Once in a while, however, we talk with the manager or owner who wants to know why hosted exchange packages are worth the money.

That's a good question, and one we will try to tackle in this short article. To understand why hosted exchange represents a good value, you first have to understand what it is: a system in which your IT company hosts (or keeps) things like e-mail and other communications on a server at their facility, instead of your laptop or desktop computer.

You might be thinking that your computers have been doing a fine enough job of managing these items on their own. So what do you actually get from a hosted exchange package?

Here are three distinct benefits you should know about:

1. Better real-time collaboration and communications. Hosted exchange packages make your communications more accessible from other locations and other devices. In other words, if you need to log in to your e-mail remotely, access it via smart phone or tablet, or collaborate with other members of your group from different locations, the hosted exchange platform is going to make life a lot easier.

2. Better protection from viruses and malware. Threats to your technology are changing all the time, which is why e-mail and antivirus packages are constantly being updated. With a hosted exchange system, your IT partner can make these updates and upgrades for you automatically and on a continuous basis. That means your company's e-mail (and the sensitive info that is being sent back and forth between employees and customers) is better protected.

3. Better performance at a low price. As we already mentioned, hosted exchange packages tend to be a very small part of an ongoing IT budget, even though they add a great deal to your convenience and security. That makes adding one an easy decision when you consider the risk-to-reward possibilities.

Hosted exchange is a complicated-sounding term for a relatively simple concept and one that could allow your employees to do more without costing you much.
