Mac users who need an Exchange-aware email client from Microsoft have depended on Entourage or Microsoft Web Access. Following the introduction of Microsoft Office for Mac 2011, Microsoft has replaced the Entourage client with Outlook 2011. Progent's macOS and OS X technology experts and Microsoft-certified Exchange engineers can help you to support a legacy Entourage system, plan and execute a smooth migration to Microsoft's current technology, and revamp your Exchange Server deployment to improve the speed, reliability, security, collaborative capability, and overall business impact of your email, messaging, and conferencing solution.
Office Outlook for Mac, part of Office 365 for Mac, takes the place of Entourage and has been re-architected to provide significant improvements in the areas of usability, calendar management, backup and restoration, search, Windows compatibility, sharing, performance, voice and video conferencing, voice mail, mobility support, IM, and presence. The Outlook for Mac database for email, contact information, and calendars is now stored in individual text files, making them easier to manage. Office Outlook for Mac is also directly Spotlight searchable and capable of being copied and recovered via Apple Time Machine. Setting up accounts has been simplified so you can easily add Exchange-based accounts or accounts from popular services.
Progent's OS X integration specialists and Microsoft certified support professionals can help your company to migrate from the discontinued Entourage email client for Exchange Server so your Mac users can team with workers who run Outlook client. Entourage allowed you ro utilize your Microsoft Exchange account to send and receive email, access your Exchange global address list, sync up your schedule and contact list, and invite people to meetings. Microsoft Entourage was designed to support AppleScript as well as Apple's Spotlight search utility. Progent can assist you to integrate a secure and reliable email solution that replaces Entourage for Mac with a current email client that can communicate with your Exchange Server.
Most of the features of Microsoft Exchange are available to Mac, Apple iPhone, and iPad users via any full-featured web browser by utilizing the Outlook Web App (previously named Outlook Web Access).

Powerful capabilities of Outlook Web App include conversation grouping for simplified thread management, expanded web browser compatibility, MailTips to help avoid dangerous or unsuitable email usage, a limitless size single-page email message folder to do away with the time and effort related to advancing through messages manually, a nickname buffer to streamline email addressing, advanced filtering and search, shared calendars, new presence indicators inside contact lists, client-based IM, ActiveSync support for SMS text messages, and customizable favorites filters (like unread messages) for quick access to task-relevant data.
