Collaboration Services for Exchange
Email has become the dominant medium for corporate communications, and with that, end users expect more everyday from their messaging system. They expect to be able to locate team members easily in their address book. They expect see their co-worker’s calendar information so that they can schedule meetings efficiently. IT is challenged to keep this critical business information available and up to date. With Quest Collaboration Services for Exchange, administrators can eliminate the time-consuming, manual tasks of maintaining contact information in several address books. End users no longer need to maintain complex personal address books or send multiple e-mails to team members to find available meeting times. Collaboration Services provides free/busy and Global Address List (GAL) synchronization while maintaining security isolation between organizations. Administrators of multi-forest, multi-Exchange organization deployments can optimize the power of synchronization yet maintain regulatory compliance and administrative autonomy.
