With Microsoft Exchange you get all of the standard local features of Outlook (adding and editing contacts and groups, private calendars and to do lists) and all the added collaboration features and benefits of Exchange.
Global address lists can be created by your administrator to make team contact information readily accessible to everyone in the organization.
Global distribution lists that include specific users can be created and made accessible to your team.
Customer and partner contact information can be shared to reduce redundancy and boost productivity by maintaining and updating contact information in a centralized location.
Team and resource availability can be determined before a meeting is scheduled or a conference room is booked, adding another valuable layer of efficiency to your team dynamics.
Shared calendars let your team use a shared folder to post schedules for events, trade shows and whatever else needs to be communicated to those with permission to access the folder. Executives can also give their assistants permission to manage their calendars.
Task creation and assignment functionality lets team members delegate tasks, set deadlines and monitor progress.
