While coming across a plethora of startups and small scale businesses on a regular basis, we generally observe the need for enterprise email solutions by almost every company.
Whether it is about effective business communication or personalizing email experience, enterprises tend to prefer a self-hosted and fully governed email solution rather than relying on free email services such as Gmail, Yahoo Mail etc.

Reasons for MS Exchange being the ‘hot favorite’ for enterprise email solution are quite predictable too. Here are some of the main pros of MS Exchange.
- Tens of millions of users are deeply hooked to ‘Microsoft Outlook‘ as their desktop email solution for years.
- With Windows Mobile OS command a significant chunk of new age Smartphones along with Blackberry and iPhone, mobile based email is fast becoming the ideal way of checking out and responding to email conversations on the go.
- With Outlook Web Access at disposal, enterprise users access and manage everything from their web browser itself, with instant updates to the desktop based Outlook.
