123Together.com First to Offer Free Microsoft Outlook 2007 with Their Exchange Hosting Service

123Together.com, the leading provider of Hosted Microsoft Exchange, Sharepoint and CRM services is now offering a free license of the new Microsoft Outlook 2007 E-mail client to every user of their Exchange Hosting service. Outlook 2007 is the latest release of Microsoft's award winning E-mail client for helping users optimize their time in managing their information and this latest version adds many new features and improvements including greater integration with Exchange Server to bring about further productivity enhancements.

Outlook is the most widely used messaging and collaboration software with hundreds of millions of Exchange mailboxes world wide (and growing over 15% per year). Now, with Outlook 2007 and Hosted Microsoft Exchange from 123Together.com, the daily productivity of office workers everywhere can be significantly improved. Outlook 2007 has vast improvements over the previous version, Outlook 2003, ranging from deeper integration with the latest versions of Exchange Server, Sharepoint and CRM; all of which are provided as Hosted services by 123Together.com as well as improvements in calendaring, collaboration and information management. Some of these enhancements include:

Advanced searching capabilities. Given the amount of information residing in Outlook mailboxes today, it is important that this information be readily accessible and easily found. Outlook 2007 introduces the new Instant Search tool. The Instant Search tool allows users to not only search by keyword through the information residing in Outlook 2007 but also searches for those keywords within e-mail attachments.

The ability to manage all your communication in one place. Users can now read and manage Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feeds and blogs right from within Outlook 2007. This capability allows users to organize and manage more of the information they look at on a daily basis from one central location. Unfortunately this increase in information also brings with it increased complexity and data storage requirements. By choosing 123Together.com's Microsoft Exchange Hosting services, IT Departments don't need to worry about these issues and can offload these back end infrastructure issues to 123Together.com's Exchange experts who actually allow users to manage mailboxes which can be as large as 10 Gigabytes.

Greater integration with mobile devices. Outlook Mobile Service (OMS) enables the ability to send and receive text and picture messages between Outlook 2007 and any mobile phone. OMS also enables users to forward Outlook e-mail, contacts, appointments, and tasks to themselves or other people as text messages. This capability along with 123Together.com's two-way wireless sync services for the BlackBerry, Good Messaging and Windows Mobile services ensures that users always have information which is the most up-to-date and available whenever or wherever they need it from.

An increased ability to stop junk mail and phishing websites. To help protect users from divulging personal information to a threatening Web site, Outlook 2007 has an improved junk e-mail filter and has added new features that disable links and warn users about threatening content within an e-mail message. These issues are amplified in a corporate environment and the combination of the enhanced Outlook 2007 filters along with the free anti-virus and anti-spam services provided by 123Together.com's Hosted Exchange services ensure that comprehensive coverage and protection.

Interaction with information stored in SharePoint 2007. Users can connect SharePoint 2007 documents, calendars, contacts, tasks, and other information to Outlook 2007, giving them a central place to manage information. The advanced application templates offered by 123Together.com enable users to have access to sophisticated workflow capabilities. Additionally since 123Together.com provides Hosting for both Exchange and SharePoint, companies our able to get the benefits of both services without performing backups, upgrades and all the other tasks which go into providing a 24x7 environment for their users.

"Outlook 2007 is a powerful tool for users to become more productive in managing the information which comes their way and for organizing and controlling their time" said Ravi Agarwal, CEO of 123Together.com. "Microsoft has done a great job in allowing Outlook 2007 to tie into Exchange Server, Sharepoint as well as Dynamics CRM so that users can access all the information which drives their business on a daily basis from one central location. Outlook 2007 brings powerful software options to the SMB marketplace. A market that has traditionally been unable to obtain this level of integration and collaboration."
