E-mail and Collaboration
One of the most utilized and
visible network services in organizations today are collaboration tools.
The primary components of collaboration tools are e-mail, calendaring,
contact management, shared document repositories, and recently instant
messaging. A variety of products exist to fill this need including
Microsoft Exchange Server, Lotus Notes and Novell GroupWise. E-mail has
quickly gone from a convenience to a business critical tool. Building a
system that is robust enough to handle your organizations needs while
still cost effective is a challenge not to be taken lightly.
Further challenges have recently
added to the complexity of collaboration tools. For example, viruses are
now a serious threat to enterprises not only from the functionality
perspective but also from a liability perspective. A company that does not
protect their suppliers and customers from outgoing viruses can be held
liable for the negligent damages caused. Viruses must be stopped before
they enter your system and prior to exiting your system. Ensuring the
success of the software that blocks viruses is an ongoing effort.
Multiple sites and wide area
connectivity are also important considerations when designing and
implementing collaboration tools. Employees in disparate locations now
expect immediate access to each other’s calendars and shared resources.
Designing and configuring systems to take advantage of wide area networks
in an efficient yet functional way is not the work of amateurs.
Collaboration is no longer just
e-mail. It is a business critical application that runs your business.
Contact Apex Technology Management, Inc. to repair, upgrade, install, and
support your system.
