Benefits of Updating from Microsoft Exchange 5.5 Server
Microsoft Exchange Server 2000 offers major improvements in
functionality over Exchange 5.5 Server in key areas including accessibility, manageability, security,
stability, capacity, and performance.
The 2000 version of Microsoft Exchange Server brings a dramatic increase in functionality over the
Microsoft Exchange 5.5 web client. Microsoft Exchange Server 2000
offers a nearly complete implementation of the familiar Outlook interface, including calendaring and tools.
This means that mobile workers can have full, secure access to email even
without a notebook. All they need is a Internet-connected computer
with a standard web browser.
Unlike Microsoft Exchange 5.5, which has its own directory, Microsoft
Exchange Server 2000 uses Active Directory, providing a greatly
simplified administration and security model. This makes Exchange
Server 2000 easier to manage and support and also offers tighter
security.
Exchange 2000 Server has a strong foundation for seamlessly
integrating third-party applications such as virus scanning packages
and anti-spamming tools. Exchange 2000 Server's strong Application
Programming Interface (API) eliminates the instability associated with
Exchange 5.5 when adding third-party utilities.
Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server offers significantly
improved capacity and performance over Exchange 5.5. This means that
you can have more and bigger mailboxes and faster remote access.
Upgrading to Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server also brings better
searching ability, making it easier to retrieve vital information when
you need it.

Benefits of Migration 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,
Microsoft Exchange Server 2000 offers an array of improved features in
the areas of manageability, performance, capacity, availability, and
collaboration:
Unlike the store-and-forward model used by POP3 email system, Microsoft
Exchange 2000 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.
Exchange Server 2000 has powerful collaboration features that
allow work groups to increase productivity by sharing calendaring, address books, messages
and files.
The flexibility of Exchange Server 2000 makes it possible to add
third-party security enhancements or accommodate wireless devices such as the RIM
Blackberry wireless handheld.
Exchange Server 2000 supports
powerful management and tracking tools so you can make sure your email
system is operating efficiently.
Exchange Server 2000 allows full
on-line backup without affecting users, enabling 24x7 operation by
eliminating scheduled downtime and maintenance blackouts.

2000. Progent attends to critical details such as coordinating domain names so that
