We offer a number of additional features that can be added to your hosted Exchange service to increase your productivity and security.

Outlook 2010

Outlook 2010 is a full featured desktop client where you can manage emails, calendars, contacts and tasks.

Conference Bridges

Use our reservation-less Conference Bridges to set up conference calls for a flat-rate price per bridge. No per-minute charges and no minimum usage commitment. It’s available whenever you need it and can be set up and given to a specific user or shared by a department or company and managed using Resource Mailboxes (see below).

Resource Mailboxes

Use a Resource Mailbox to schedule resources like conference rooms and shared equipment at your company. Schedule resources in meeting requests, providing a simple and efficient way to manage conference rooms and equipment. Use Room Mailboxes to assign a meeting location like a conference room, auditorium, training room or even teleconference bridge. Use Equipment Mailboxes for a resource that’s not location specific, such as a portable computer projector, microphone or company car.

Wireless E-Mail

Synchronize email, contacts and calendars with our BlackBerry hosting and ActiveSync options. These options automatically push your important data in real-time to your iPhone, BlackBerry, Android or other device.

Company disclaimer

As legal and compliance risks grow, Company Disclaimer is an effective way to help you enforce a company-wide email policy. Company Disclaimer allows you to add HTML or text disclaimers automatically to all of your company’s email messages, providing an effective way to communicate legal information, provide a warning to unknown or unverified email senders or other important messages.

Compliant Archiving

Compliant Archiving allows you to retain your email and electronic records in a manner compliant with federally-mandated procedures, including: 

  • Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
  • Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA
  • Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX)
  • US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
  • Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA)
  • Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP)

We offer Compliant Archiving for Hosted Exchange through a close partnership with a leading specialist in message archiving and compliance. You may also enable Compliant Archiving with any other provider.

Encrypted Email

Encrypted Mail: Email between mailboxes on our system is natively encrypted. Clients can also use our Encrypted Email solution in order to communicate externally with military-grade encryption of email and attachments. Our Policy-based Encrypted Email easily encrypts emails based on company-wide rules and policies that clients set up and manage - all without disrupting day-to-day workflow. All email content and attachments are automatically scanned to detect whether the message warrants encryption before being sent. Policies can be configured to encrypt and send, return to sender or delete messages with insecure content. This option reduces human error and minimizes the risk of security breaches. If clients need end-to-end encryption, we also offer user-level Encrypted Email, which encrypts emails from the desktop client, and can be used to encrypt intra-company and confidential communications. Both Encrypted email solutions are backed by a globally-recognized Certificate Authority. Standards-based technologies are used, such as Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), S/MIME, and X.509 certificates, to establish confidentiality, message integrity and user authentication.

Directory Link

Directory Link provides an integration solution for businesses that need to maintain some on-premise applications in addition to their hosted services. 

Directory Link leverages your existing on-premise Microsoft Active Directory infrastructure to ensure user attributes are synchronized across all applications. This enables your users to use a single username and password combination across all their applications, plus ensures synchronization of user- or admin-driven password changes.
