Not Got Exchange Email Hosting? Five Ways Your Business Could Suffer

 Exchange email hosting is suitable for companies of various sizes, but many still struggle by day to day with email problems.

The cost of having frequent and ongoing email issues can cost a business a small fortune.

Exchange email hosting can help to eliminate many common email issues such as corrupt databases that lead to an extended amount of downtime. Using the wrong technology in your business has the potential to cause all of the following problems and more.

• Security breaches

Whatever industry you’re in, the idea of someone else being able to read the emails you send and receive is an unpalatable one.

If you’re relying on web based email or have chosen a poor host for your website and emails, this nightmare scenario may already be happening.

This could clearly have serious implications for you and your clients. If you have any doubts whatsoever about the security of your present email system, now is the time to enquire about Exchange email hosting.

• Slow computers

With so many viruses and malware around, a lack of email security could be slowing down your computers without you realising. This in turn will have an impact on staff productivity levels due to applications and task taking longer than they should.

As well as causing your computers to perform more slowly, viruses and malware can create all sorts of other problems and can even track keystrokes made on your machines.

Exchange email hosting can stop these problems before they even reach your computers, keeping them healthy and your staff productive.

• Lack of access

There are definitely business benefits in employees being able to access their company email accounts from anywhere and any device and Exchange email hosting will deliver these. You may think by having a free web based email service you’ve covered this problem, but what if it’s down for any reason? And what about the perceived lack of professionalism involved in sending a client an email from your personal Hotmail or Yahoo account?

You also need to think about access; if your employee is on the other side of the world with their iPhone and can’t get into their hosted email account, it could cause them problems.

• Lack of storage capacity

In any company, there will be lots of emails that need to be stored so they can be referred to at another time. If you’re using a hosted email service with a low storage capacity, you may not be able to keep everything you need.

For example, you may have an account handler who has 50 different clients and needs to store emails and attachments from each of these for reference.

At Incontech, we’ll discuss your Exchange email hosting requirements with you at the outset and ensure your capacity is sufficient as well as being able to be increased as your business expands.

• Reliability

Having your email system go down completely can be a real nightmare. For example, your most important client may have sent you something urgent and decided to do it by email rather than calling.

When you’re paying people to work for you, it’s in everyone’s best interests that they’re able to work without any delays caused by technical problems. We know companies who’ve been without business email for weeks!
