Exchange 2007 — What you need to know

Many of today's small to mid-sized businesses operate in a Microsoft Exchange environment. Most of these businesses have invested in Exchange and Exchange-compatible systems over the years, and now they are both loyal to and dependent upon Exchange for email.

Now that Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 has finally been released, you might be wondering if it's worth the time, effort, and cost to migrate to 2007 from your current platform. Find out what's new with Exchange 2007, and what security issues to consider before you migrate.

Long time coming
Prior to 2007, the last release of Exchange was in 2003. Exchange Server 2007 includes many new enhancements and features that improve upon the 2003 platform. Here are some of the improvements that come with Exchange 2007:

  • More access — Email inbox, calendar, contact information, and voicemail can be accessed virtually anywhere, anytime using a browser.
  • Better availability — New data replication capabilities drive increased availability at a lower cost.
  • Richer email experience — Improved user experience and better manageability. Desktop features such as quick flags, sophisticated calendaring, and fast search are now available on mobile devices.
  • Unified messaging — Employees can receive their email, -voicemail, and faxes through a single inbox that can be accessed from anywhere. This means lower cost and complexity through consolidation of voicemail infrastructure.

IP Surveillance
   
For more and more business owners, surveillance has become a means to insure security, reduce insurance costs, and provide peace of mind for both customers and employees. Today, not just any surveillance system will do, to be fully secure you need IP-based surveillance.

As hardware is developed to meet consumer needs, prices become more and more affordable.

Schools, municipalities, and businesses of all sizes are finding that IP surveillance doesn't have to break the budget. In fact, when cost is measured in terms of protection, a surveillance system can be deemed prudent by even the most frugal of CFO's.

Today’s IP (Internet Protocol) Surveillance solutions allow you to monitor your office, warehouse, or campus from virtually anywhere. IP surveillance uses the company's existing network and the public internet to transmit images over the public network. The system provides motion detection, auto time and date stamps, easy transfer of visuals, and pre-and post-alarm messaging. Business owners are notified immediately if an event is occurring; they can then log on to the system remotely to see what's happening in their offices and businesses. With today’s IP surveillance solutions, businesses can feel their employees and their assets are far more secure and protected.

Panurgy offers a full range of IP security products from a variety of manufacturers, and we can meet specific client needs with efficient, affordable systems. Contact your Panurgy account manager about a surveillance survey today.

Look Bad

I get an awful lot of e-mail. Sometimes, people are looking for help with their computers. Some of it is fan mail.

Other folks are mad about something I said or wrote. Add to this the barrage of press releases and an occasional blast from the past when a former classmate or ex-boss drops me a note.

After facing this tidal wave of electronic words for several years, as well as owning my own business, I've developed some strong opinions about e-mail and correspondents.

Here are eight easily avoidable mistakes you should know about to keep your image and inbox in tip-top shape.
