Exchange Hosting and the PEM Control Panel
Learning how to run a new program isn’t always easy. All of us have seen an interesting program in the store, purchased it, brought it home, and installed it only to find that we have no idea how to get it to work properly. This is one reason that large companies tend to have expensive IT’s at their disposal. A highly-trained internet tech can teach everyone in the office how to run any program, and can fix things quickly should something go wrong with the program. But what do you do if you do not have the budget for an IT and you want to bring in some helpful and high-tech programs?
Exchange Hosting
One answer is to go with exchange hosting. Exchange hosting is the process of using Microsoft Exchange 2007 through a host server. This means that you do not have to purchase a server, do not have to purchase the program, and you do not have to hire an IT specialist to help you to install or run the program. This is an especially good option for a small or medium-sized company who does not have a large technology budget.
Running the System
Some business owners still balk at going through exchange hosting, however, because they worry that they will be unable to run it easily. When you choose to use Microsoft Exchange 2007 through exchange hosting, things are actually fairly easy. One way that the company makes it simple is to make everything web-based. Programs on the internet are always much easier to run and tend to have be all point-and-click type of programs, which are generally simpler to get the hang of.
The internet control panel is actually called the PEM Administrative Control Panel. PEM works well because everything is in one central place, making it quick and simple to download whatever you may need. For instance, a free, easily downloadable version of Outlook 2003 or Outlook 2007 is available on the PEM for exchange hosting customers. You simply point, click, download, install, and enjoy!
Also on the PEM are tools to help everyone who is allowed into the PEM to learn how to use exchange hosting. There is a configuration guide in case you get stuck installing Outlook, a guide to set up ActiveSync, which helps to keep all of your computers and possibly even your wireless devices synced up, and many other little tutorials to help walk you through the various programs you can use with exchange hosting.
You can even change how you use your hosting services through the PEM. With a few mouse clicks you can sign up for more programs or you can unsubscribe from the ones that you find you aren’t using very much. Exchange hosting makes it extremely simple for anyone who wants to integrate Microsoft Exchange 2007 into their business, no matter whether it is a large business, a medium one, a small one, or an individual who is using exchange hosting for their own needs.
