Exchange Online – Part I: Improving Email Communication
How do you know when it’s time to move to enterprise‑grade email?
Switching your business email from a free service to a paid hosted solution is an important commitment. In fact, it may even seem counterintuitive: why pay for something you can get for free? However, after taking a closer look, the reasons become clear.
Free email services typically offer fewer security features, provide limited customization options, and often lack the capabilities needed to support business growth. By eliminating many of the service‑level issues associated with free email, hosted enterprise‑grade email can also free up your limited IT resources, allowing them to focus on more important tasks.
Are you ready for a smarter business email solution?
With hosted enterprise‑grade email, giving your organization the features it needs to enhance professionalism and productivity—without straining your budget—is easier than ever with Exchange Online.
DON’T MISS IMPORTANT OPPORTUNITIES
Although free email services are common for personal use, they do not offer the same level of professionalism as a customized enterprise‑grade email solution. Since free email accounts can be created easily, their legitimacy is often questioned—and as a result, so is your company’s credibility. Even more importantly, emails sent from free email services can be easily overlooked or end up in the spam folder, which may lead to lost business opportunities.
FREE EMAIL CAN END UP COSTING YOU MORE
Since email is so deeply integrated into employees’ daily work, any service downtime can end up costing valuable time and money. From email account lockouts to virus exposure or a service interruption, every time access to email is disrupted, all users are affected. Communication comes to a halt, access to critical documents is lost, and employee productivity is interrupted.
Efficient organizations already make the most of their resources. Therefore, when these issues arise, the most productive team members may be pulled away from more important business initiatives. With free email services, more time is often spent reacting to problems and less time proactively improving the business.
