Mobile messaging and collaboration solutions

Mobile e-mail keeps everyone in the loop, whether you work in a small business or large organization. With the e-mail, calendaring, and productivity tools your employees already know, Windows phones incorporate a consistent and familiar Microsoft Office Outlook and Microsoft Office experience so you and your mobile team can stay productive without a big learning curve.

For improved mobile e-mail, advanced mailbox functionality, better protection from spam, and other benefits, use Windows phones with Microsoft Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2007, or Exchange Server 2003 with SP2. Windows phones with Microsoft Exchange Server allow you to use existing Microsoft IT resources to help increase productivity and usability; help manage, protect, and control your organization’s mobile messaging infrastructure; and make the most of your investments. This advanced messaging, collaboration, and communication solution—working with familiar Microsoft technologies—enables a security-enhanced, efficient IT environment at a low total cost of ownership.

Microsoft Online Services make it easy for your business to take advantage of the familiar Microsoft server products as flexible services. With a hosted Exchange Server service available from Microsoft Online Services, organizations of any size can benefit from an enhanced mobile messaging environment.

Even when your team is miles or continents apart, you can make sure everyone has access to shared information. For mobile teams that need to collaborate on documents and stay on top of shared resources, Windows phones work with Microsoft Office SharePoint workspace-based tools. You can make the most of your existing SharePoint servers or get the same advantage through a convenient hosted service available from Microsoft Online Services.

By mobilizing SharePoint, you can use your Windows phones to collaborate using web-based team sites, and even view and edit shared Microsoft Office files. Teams stay informed about workspace changes as well, thanks to the customizable e-mail alerts, notifications, and RSS feeds that Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 can send to Windows phones.

With Windows phones and Microsoft Business Productivity Online Suite (BPOS), you get a highly flexible, cost effective way to extend your mobile infrastructure. A hosted infrastructure solution, this suite of online services provides mobile e-mail, presence and IM (PIM), real-time communications, collaboration, and exclusive client features that your mobile workers can start using today.

BPOS supports the software most businesses need to stay productive with the features mobile users want: Microsoft ActiveSync, Exchange Server search, presence sync with Office Communications, document viewing in a browser, mobile lookup of global address lists, and SharePoint document access—all without additional servers or installed software and managed from a single web-based console.
