Microsoft Exchange Server 2007
Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 is designed to meet the challenges of security, anywhere access, and operational efficiency. Exchange Server 2007 offers built-in protective technologies that deliver enterprise-class availability and reliability to keep your messaging system up and running, reduce spam and viruses, enable confidential communications, and help your company to be compliant with regulatory requirements. By offering anywhere access to their e-mail, voice mail, calendars, and contacts from a variety of clients and devices, Exchange Server 2007 increases the productivity of the growing number of employees who require the ability to respond quickly at home, work, or on the road. Exchange Server 2007 gets more from hardware, software, and network investments through the power of x64 computing and bandwidth-optimizing routing algorithms. Exchange Server 2007 also Improves administrator productivity by making it easier to find and fix problems, and automate tasks more simply.

New features introduced by Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 offer improvements in functionality over earlier versions of Exchange Server in key areas including security, accessibility, performance, manageability, and extensibility. Improvements include:

Anti-spam and Antivirus Built-in defenses against spam and phishing e-mail as well as additional integrated filtering and multi-engine scanning capabilities provide advanced protection.
Compliance Controls for messages in transport or requiring retention, and flexible journaling help meet organizational, legal and regulatory compliance requirements.
Business Continuity New data replication capabilities (local and clustered) keep the system highly available while limiting the need and frequency for tape backup.
Confidential Messaging New encryption features for both internal and Internet-based messages help protect the confidentiality of messages in transit.
Unified Messaging New Exchange Unified Messaging goes beyond e-mail to deliver more types of communications to the inbox, including faxes and voice mail, as well as offering new capabilities such as voice access from any standard phone.
Web-Based Messaging A rich Outlook-like experience from any Internet connected computer with a supported browser provides encrypted access to the inbox, powerful search, and the ability to view different types of attachments.
Mobile Messaging Exchange ActiveSync technology delivers an improved e-mail and calendaring experience on mobile devices, while offering enhanced device and security policy control.
Collaboration and Productivity Enhanced calendaring, out-of-office, resource booking, and meeting scheduling capabilities simplify collaboration and increase productivity.
Performance and Scalability Improved storage efficiency can be achieved through the extended memory and larger cache of x64-based architecture even as mailbox sizes increase; more efficient routing ensures the best use of bandwidth.
Administration New graphical and command-line interfaces offer improved manageability and increased automation while integrated tools simplify maintenance.
Extensibility New Web services-based application programming interface (API) and .NET integration via Exchange Management Shell tasks enable rapid development for custom and third-party applications.

How Progent Can Help You with Microsoft Exchange Server 2007
Years of experience with Microsoft's email technology makes Progent one of the most qualified IT consulting firms in Northern California and in major cities throughout the United States for integrating messaging solutions based on Microsoft Exchange Server 2003. Progent can help small businesses get the full benefits of Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 under these common scenarios:

How Progent Can Help You Migrate to Exchange Server 2007
From an architectural perspective, Exchange Server 2007 is significantly enhanced from Exchange Server 2003. Exchange Server 2007 is a modular system of five server roles, namely, Edge Transport, Hub Transport, Mailbox, Client Access, and Unified Messaging. These server roles perform specific operations in an Exchange organization. With the exception of Edge Transport, which must sit in the perimeter network, all roles can be run on a single server, or broken up onto multiple servers based upon the size and requirements of the organization.

Progent's Microsoft-certified consultants can help you plan an implementation of Exchange Server 2007 that aligns with your company goals and IT budget, providing a secure, fault-tolerant, high-performance and highly functional system that will add significant business value to your corporate network. Progent's field-proven methodologies can help you define and implement an efficient in-place upgrade strategy that avoids business disruption, reduces long-term support requirements, and makes your Microsoft Exchange Server 20077 easy to administer. For complex multi-server or multi-site upgrades, Progent has the experience to complete your project quickly and affordably.

How Progent Can Help You Upgrade from an ISP-based or POP3 Email System
If your small business is currently using an email system hosted by an ISP or if you are running your Outlook clients in POP3 mode, Progent's consultants can help you enjoy the benefits of Microsoft Exchange 2007 Server's improved features in the areas of manageability, performance, capacity, availability, and collaboration. Unlike the store-and-forward model used by POP3 email systems, Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Server uses a central-store model that frees users from dependence on a specific desktop or notebook computer, reduces vulnerability to hardware failure or virus attacks, and allows both on-line and off-line email, automatic backup, and sophisticated sharing and collaboration. Progent can show you how to use Exchange Server 2007's powerful collaboration features that allow work groups to increase productivity by sharing calendaring, address books, messages and files. Progent can also help you take advantage of the extensibility of Exchange 2007 by adding third-party or custom security enhancements to accommodate your special business needs. In addition, Progent is expect at using Exchange-compatible management and tracking tools so you can make sure your email system is operating efficiently.

Progent's experience and field-proven methodologies can help you implement a quick, seamless migration to Microsoft Exchange Server 2007. Progent attends to critical details such as coordinating domain names so that both local and remote users make a smooth transition from POP3 email.
