Benefits of Updating from Microsoft
Exchange 5.5 Server
Microsoft Exchange Server 2000 offers major improvements in
functionality over Exchange 5.5 Server in key areas including
accessibility, manageability, security, stability, capacity,
and performance.
The 2000 version of Microsoft Exchange Server brings a dramatic
increase in functionality over the Microsoft Exchange 5.5 web
client. Microsoft Exchange Server 2000 offers a nearly complete
implementation of the familiar Outlook interface, including
calendaring and tools. This means that mobile workers can have
full, secure access to email even without a notebook. All they
need is a Internet-connected computer with a standard web browser.
- Unlike Microsoft Exchange 5.5, which has its own directory,
Microsoft Exchange Server 2000 uses Active Directory, providing
a greatly simplified administration and security model.
This makes Exchange Server 2000 easier to manage and support
and also offers tighter security.
- Exchange 2000 Server has a strong foundation for seamlessly
integrating third-party applications such as virus scanning
packages and anti-spamming tools. Exchange 2000 Server's
strong Application Programming Interface (API) eliminates
the instability associated with Exchange 5.5 when adding
third-party utilities.
- Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server offers significantly improved
capacity and performance over Exchange 5.5. This means that
you can have have more and bigger mailboxes and faster remote
access.
- Upgrading to Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server also brings
better searching ability, making it easier to retrieve vital
information when you need it.

Benefits of Migration from
an ISP-based or POP3 Email System
If your small business is currently using an email system
hosted by an ISP or if you are running your Outlook clients
in POP3 mode, Microsoft Exchange Server 2000 offers an array
of improved features in the areas of manageability, performance,
capacity, availability, and collaboration:
Unlike the store-and-forward model used by POP3 email system,
Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server uses a central-store model
that frees users from dependence on a specific desktop or
notebook computer, reduces vulnerability to hardware failure
or virus attacks, and allows both on-line and off-line email,
automatic backup, and sophisticated sharing and collaboration.
- Exchange Server 2000 has powerful collaboration features
that allow work groups to increase productivity by sharing
calendaring, address books, messages and files.
- The flexibility of Exchange Server 2000 makes it possible
to add third-party security enhancements or accommodate
wireless devices such as the RIM Blackberry wireless handheld.

tracking tools so you can make sure your email system is
