Exchange

Description

Microsoft Exchange is an enterprise messaging solution that provides improved email security and enhanced operational efficiency for members of the IT staff. Exchange comprises a mail server, an email client and groupware applications. Designed for use in a business setting, the Exchange server is often used in conjunction with Microsoft Outlook to take advantage of Outlook's collaborative features, such as the ability to share calendars and contact lists.
