Exchange Solutions You Can Count On
While email is critical to your business, managing your Exchange server in-house can be expensive, time consuming, and full of hassles. Working with an external service provider can help you eliminate those headaches, and take advantage of the full functionality of your Microsoft Hosted Exchange server.
NaviSite’s Hosted Exchange solutions, based on an agile SaaS platform and optimized for 0-1000 seats, are designed to improve your email efficiencies without incurring additional upfront expenses or administrative burdens. With NaviSite, you get business-grade email that’s simple to set up and administrate, easy to use, and simple to pay for.
Our offerings are simple to understand and offer the same costs advantage whether you have 5 users or 500 users – you don’t get a better price by adding features or having a minimum number of users. As a Microsoft Certified Gold Partner and an industry-leading provider of hosted Microsoft Exchange services, we host email for hundreds of organizations, managing over 100,000 seats and 20 million messages a month.
Choosing NaviSite as your trusted Microsoft Hosted Exchange provider offers a number of significant benefits over hosting your Exchange Server in-house.
