Unified Messaging

Benefits

One inbox for all your messages
With Microsoft unified communications technologies e-mail, voice-mail, faxes, and calendar events all arrive in one inbox. That means you can prioritize and color code your voice-mails and faxes just like any piece of e-mail. You can even forward them, to one person or one thousand, with a few clicks.

Programmatic path to compliance
With voice-mail and faxes integrated into Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, you can apply the same programmatic journaling and archiving you use for e-mail retention to all of your asynchronous messaging. Retaining e-mail, voice-mail, and faxes in a central archive resolves many of the compliance issues businesses currently face.

Enhanced support for mobile users
Exchange Server 2007 includes Exchange ActiveSync technology, to deliver messaging to a variety of mobile devices a rich Outlook experience on Windows Mobile Devices. Microsoft Outlook Web Access has been redesigned for greater stability and security, so users can stay connected via the Web.
