Windows Small Business Server 2003 provides a compelling mobile user solution
that enables users to access their e-mail, schedule, calendar, and task
information using their cell phones and other portable devices when they are
away from the office. This feature is built on the Exchange Server 2003 Outlook
Mobile Access (OMA) feature. Windows Small Business Server 2003 simplifies the
set up and configuration of the portable devices
As time has gone by, you may have found that yours like many small firms need
mobile computing solutions that:
Enable field sales staff to work closely with office based
colleagues
Instant access to product, price, stock and delivery information can
be crucial to closing a deal. Returning to the office to get this kind
of information takes time and gives competitors the chance to move in.
Make working at home, at a client’s premises, or in a hotel feel
like working in the office
Using the Internet to access office email accounts and the office
network makes a huge difference to the productivity of home or remote
workers. They can work on and share documents, monitor and respond to
emails exactly as if they were in the office.
Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2003 is designed specifically to meet
the needs of small businesses. Based on the latest Microsoft Windows server
technologies, it delivers an integrated, easy to use server solution that will
help you bridge the gap between the office and the road. This includes:
A remote workspace
Out-of-the-box tools like Microsoft Outlook Web Access and Remote
Web Workspace provide access to email, calendar and contacts from any
computer with Internet access.
Accessing yours and others up-to-minute e-mail, calendar or contacts from
Outlook when out and about used to require the setting up of a ‘VPN’, which some
organizations found tedious to manage. This is no longer required and Outlook
can connect to your server as if you were in the Office, wherever you are
sitting, even wirelessly from an airport lounge, providing you have a wireless
network card in your PC.
Access to information
Windows SharePoint Services enables the development of a secure,
structured, Intranet site which makes it easy for office-based and
remote staff to share documents and up to date information.
Have you ever found yourself out of the office without the latest update to a
document, such as price list? One of the features of Small Business Server 2003
is the ability to keep shared documents updated, so even if they are stored on
the network you have a constant up-to-date copy with you, whether you are in the
office or not.
On any device
Carrying a PC around with you constantly is not always possible or
desirable, so the ability to access your critical information on the go
is vital. Windows Small Business Server provides the infrastructure to
allow you to access critical Outlook information via a range of Windows
based devices. If you typically carry a phone on you at all times,
Windows Mobile software ships in small, powerful Smartphones which
feature up to date Outlook access, Office viewers, web browsing and a
range of other third party applications to enhance productivity.
