Microsoft Exchange Server 2003
Communication is the key to success in an increasingly pressurised academic world. Demands facing schools, colleges, and universities range from supporting e-learning, to meeting reporting requirements and quality standards. E-mail is one of the most widely used tools to support such collaboration and communication.
Microsoft® Exchange Server 2003 communication and collaboration server is the secure, reliable, easy-to-manage messaging collaboration solution for uniting users and knowledge. It sets a new benchmark for low total cost of ownership (TCO) by helping IT staff within academia do more with less through improved management tools.
Exchange Server 2003 facilitates consolidated e-mail services for desktop, Web-based, and mobile access, in addition to messaging, group calendaring, and scheduling functions. Users can use these tools to access to key resources, whenever and wherever they need to.
Five Reasons to Deploy Exchange Server
| • | Benefit from an enhanced platform for messaging and collaboration throughout your institution. |
| • | Anytime, anywhere communication means all users can stay in touch, using any Web-based access device. |
| • | Enhanced security means institutions can choose the services they want without exposing key communications and data to risk. |
| • | Scalable to meet growing needs—up to 16 terabytes per mailbox database, and up to 20 mailbox databases per server. |

Benefits for Stakeholders
Institutions
Communication and collaboration can be enhanced with Exchange Server 2003, while keeping cost and complexity under control. Confidentiality is assured due to increased security and reliability.
Students
Communications tools such as Microsoft Windows® Messenger and e-mail help students to work more closely with others on projects, and support twinning arrangements with schools and colleges abroad. Also, deployment of Exchange Server 2003 involves minimal disruption, meaning study need not be badly affected during migration.
Teachers
Support for teaching requires power and functionality that goes beyond the classroom. The combination of Microsoft Office Outlook® 2003 with Exchange Server 2003 facilitates the use of powerful software tools, at a time and place to suit teachers’ needs. In addition, mobile devices such as laptops or personal digital assistants (PDAs) are supported.
