Hosted exchange 'provides business backup'

UK firms have been advised of the benefits of employing hosted exchange services to boost business continuity efforts.

By embracing the use of hosted exchange servers, firms are able to add an extra layer of data protection to their business, according to Host Review.

As well as this, in-built file scanning software can help prevent attacks from the internet and safeguard sensitive information that is integral to the smooth running of a company and its continued success.

Furthermore, authentication and data access issues can be resolved through the uptake of this form of information management technology, the website added.

Meanwhile, Bjorn Furuknap, editor and author of Understanding Sharepoint Journal, recently commented that Microsoft's hosted Sharepoint product can help businesses improve enterprise content management.

He noted that the software can help firms become more responsive to the needs of their clients and to boost overall data management capabilities.
