Communication and Collaboration

Exchange Server
To compete successfully in today's challenging business climate, organizations must enable more efficient ways for information workers to communicate and collaborate. E-mail is currently the most widely used collaborative technology. More businesses use Exchange for e-mail-based collaboration than any other product. Exchange 2003 enables information workers to gain access to critical business communications almost whenever and wherever they need to and is designed to deliver greater security, availability, and reliability. Exchange 2003 sets a new benchmark for low total cost of ownership (TCO) by helping your information technology (IT) staff to do more with less through improved management tools.

If you're in an Exchange Server 5.5 environment, Exchange 2003 offers large costs savings by operating on fewer servers. With new resources and tools, the upgrade and migration to Exchange 2003 is smooth, fast, and cost-effective.

Office SharePoint Server
SharePoint Portal Server 2003 enables enterprises to develop an intelligent portal that seamlessly connects users, teams, and knowledge so that people can take advantage of relevant information across business processes to help them work more efficiently. SharePoint Portal Server 2003 provides an enterprise business solution that integrates information from various systems into one solution through single sign-on and enterprise application integration capabilities, with flexible deployment options and management tools. The portal facilitates end-to-end collaboration by enabling aggregation, organization, and search capabilities for people, teams, and information. Users can find relevant information quickly through customization and personalization of portal content and layout, as well as by audience targeting. Organizations can target information, programs, and updates to audiences based on their organizational role, team membership, interest, security group, or any other membership criteria that can be defined. SharePoint Portal Server 2003 uses Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 2003 sites to create portal pages for people, information, and organizations. The portal also extends the capabilities of Windows SharePoint Services sites with organization and management tools, and enables teams to publish information in their sites to the entire organization.

Office Live Communications Server
Live Communications Server 2003 provides your business with enterprise-ready instant messaging (IM), presence awareness, and an extensible platform that connects people, information, and business processes-enabling better decisions faster.
