How ISC and Microsoft deliver a more efficient, effective mobile workforce

Microsoft certified gold partner Increasingly the key to business productivity, reduced overheads and better infrastructure growth lies in mobility. Seamless, pan-enterprise information access must be available whenever and wherever possible, to and from any device.

ISC can help you meet your remote-access challenges, no matter the size of your business. We do this by way of a comprehensive range of mobile solutions developed by Microsoft. Principal among these, Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 is designed to increase the productivity of knowledgeworkers whilst reducing TCO of server and site consolidation. Exchange Server 2003 also features many new enhancements to improve reliability, manageability and security.

Key features and benefits of Exchange Server 2003

Outlook Web Access: redesigned user interface almost identical to Outlook 2003
Outlook Mobile Access & Exchange Server ActiveSync: corporate e-mail security for browser- & Windows-based mobile devices
RPC/HTTPS: full client web access, allowing for local use functionality
Security: Microsoft code accordance since 2002 with Trustworthy Computing Initiative: a long-term, collaborative effort to provide more secure, private & reliable computing experiences
Anti-Spam: Intelligent Message Filter (IMF)
Lotus Notes compatibility
Easier deployment: Exchange System Manager newly-enhanced
Cross-device e-mail feed: �push� technology via Support Pack 2
Increase in mailbox storage size limits: Exchange 2003 Std SP2 has been increased from 16Gb to 75Gb

Coupled with Outlook 2003, Exchange 2003 enables consistent access to personal business information independent of network characteristics. Mobile workers can more easily field information as it arrives in mailboxes, no matter the devices they use.

IT managers also substantially benefit. Advances in administration, security, scalability, reliability and mobile computing support lower the costs of managing Exchange-based comms infrastructures, whilst easing missioncritical messaging services.
