​Hosted Exchange is a hosted server solution that delivers Microsoft® Exchange as a service, giving companies access to email and collaboration tools in the cloud.

Hosted Exchange lets you access your emails, calendars, contacts and tasks, and enables collaborative features like calendar, contact list and document sharing, from anywhere, with multiple access options, including Microsoft Outlook on desktops/laptops, or Outlook Web Access from a browser or mobile device.

The solution is fully outsourced and the managed Microsoft Exchange environment is hosted in the world class, tier 4 IS data centre network, which offers a high level of resiliency, robustness and redundancy, combined with best-in-class security, content and management features, all supported by expert IS staff.

IS Hosted Exchange is available in a Premium version, which offers full user functionality and gives you access to mail and mail tools, as well as a Lite version for clients who just want to have access to their mails. The solution also allows for a mixture of Lite and Premium users and can dynamically scale as required. This simplifies budgeting and offers complete flexibility to customise your email solution to suit your specific needs as they change.

IS Hosted Exchange clients also receive free email access at all AlwaysOn Wi-Fi hotspots throughout South Africa.
