Monique - That's going to depend on what your current email / groupware software is (if any) and what kinds of things you wish to accomplish with an Exchange environment. It also depends upon what type of network environment you're currently using. Exchange / Outlook allows nearly limitless customization and while it does require a good amount of maintenance and software/hardware considerations, it allows all of your employees to work closely as a team. From group scheduling to assigning tasks to the benefits of OWA (outlook web access) and using public folders as a database front-end (and even to store commonly used files, such as employee handbooks and policy manuals), it could be a great tool for your organization. I would have to ask a few questions that may help other people in this list answer your original question: What type of business are you in? Do you have one location or multiple locations? What are your IT resources / budget? Do all of your employees have workstations or do they share? That's all I can think of, folks. Any other suggestions? -Josh -- Joshua Etterman Complete College Solutions 513 W.
