New support, new features, new version of Exchange 2013

Cobweb’s enterprise customers using Hosted Exchange 2010 will be able to migrate in a secure and efficient way to Cobweb Hosted Exchange 2013, without having to worry about IT implementation or upgrade disasters. Cobweb Hosted Exchange is based around the Microsoft Exchange 2013 Enterprise edition and will benefit from updates, additional support and new features included in the latest version of the software. As an extension of its platform, Cobweb also now integrates Microsoft Lync including all forms of business communication: instant messaging, Voice over IP (VoIP) and video conferencing.

“Exchange 2013 allows much more integration with other products and really enhances the features of enterprise-ready unified communication solutions. Lync delivers a familiar and engaging communication experience across a variety of devices and platforms, and enables business customers to work better and be more productive no matter where they are or what device they use” Abigail Rappoport, Director, Microsoft Office Division

“Within a unique and unified solution, Cobweb Hosted Exchange 2013 provides businesses with instant, secure deployment and a better way to share email, calendars and contact information while on the move,” says Julian Dyer, CTO at Cobweb. “In 2011, Cobweb’s Hosted Exchange service sales grew an impressive 50 per cent. We are sure the new features included in Hosted Exchange 2013 will be positively received again.”
