Small Business - Exchange Server
Posted on 5/5/16 at 7:18 pm
Posted on 5/5/16 at 7:18 pm
We're a small manufacturing business that has about 20 outlook users. We are looking to use shared calender's so our install team and project management team can get on the same page for our installs.
We are currently using outlook but not able to share calendars and I believe it's because we're not using an exchange server. Hostway is currently our e-mail host and using Outlook 2013 across the business.
What's the best way for us to gain access to shared folders? Am I just missing a button within our current environment that will give us access to shared folders?
We have been using Hostway since the inception of the business. I'm just now coming into the business so i'm not sure if Hostway is good/bad/indifferent. And i'm not an IT guy, except for the basics, so if there's a better option than Hostway i'm all ears.
Thanks for any help.

should be able to click on the "three dots" for shared folders. you may have to contact your hosting admins to add/enable shared folders and permissions for creating them.

Switch to Office365. No HW, just Office and you get everything else.

Office 365. You don't want to deal with an exchange server for that many users. I'm moving to Office 365 at my company and we have 112 email addresses.

We are considering it for 2000+ users.

I've implemented and managed both Exchange (2010 and 2013) multiple times. I've also done many migrations from Exchange to Office 365.
Go with Office 365. Not really a question. Exchange can be a nightmare on a number of different fronts.
Let MSFT worry about the infrastructure, including storage. Nothing like your company getting hit with an investigation or lawsuit and you have to set many large mailboxes on an indefinite retention policy... and then having to buy new storage just to handle all of it.

Office 365 will give us the ability to share and view calender's?

Any reason to go with Office365 over Google Apps?
Posted on 5/6/16 at 9:28 am to CHiPs25
another for "do a hosted solution" like office 365 or google apps.

You can get MS Office Subscription software for each user through Office 365.

Ah email retention. Make sure you have a written policy in place for how long you plan to retain and backup email for. (One of the things I used to write for clients). Obviously if you are a law/CPA firm, there are guidelines for document and communication retention, but your average business should also have this in place to say 'this is our policy'. Then stick to it. If you keep email for 6 months, make sure everything is deleted after then.

Can you mix and match subscriptions based on need?

I doubt the install team is doing heavy Excel work. No need to pay $150 per user per year when there is a $50 option.

You get the office suite of products with the subscription, probably the biggest feature. Office365 also gives you 50gb of email, and I think Google is 30Gb, not that it matters that much.
We actually have both at our shop, and O365 is much faster syncing to Outlook than Gmail, but that is probably expected.
