Spring Media Design is a relatively new company to Cornwall, providing premium website design and hosting services at affordable cost.  For the first 14 months of being in business we decided not to pursue any clients, you’re probably thinking, what’s the point in that?  This was our time to strengthen our core services and find out what the rest of Cornwall is lacking on in terms of hosted web services.

One thing I wanted to bring into Cornwall was the ability for small businesses to use Microsoft’s Hosted Exchange Platform.  This is an amazing enterprise class email solution here is a little product brief.

Key Benefits

As communication levels increase with the advent of the android OS and Smart phones are popping out of the wood work all over the place, why not keep up to date with your business and have all of your contacts updated and backed up in the cloud.  Have you ever come out of the office driving somewhere, get to a service station and think!  Did I send that really important email?  Can’t get in touch with anyone at the office!  Most of the time businesses are only using standard pop 3 email account, which may have access to webmail but you cannot check any outgoing messages.  Yes we have all been there, but this was my first experience when I switched over to Hosted Exchange.  All I did was pullover, enter my email folder on the HTC, check sent items and there it was.  Panic over!!  The beauty of synchronisation, even in webmail access you have the exact folder structure you have on you main office pc.  It’s amazing and well worth the £10.00 a month.

I also went into a marketing meeting, and the lead speaker was asking us about Risk Management!!  I know we don’t even want to think about it but we must in order for all of our businesses to survive.  One question to you!  Does your business email all reside on one PC?  The answer is probably yes!!  What would happen if that PC’s Hard Drive Failed or even got stolen?  Do you do take daily backups?  To be truthful the majority of us don’t have the time and it all catches up with us at some point.  Well with the Hosted Exchange option you don’t need to even worry about that.  Should you PC fail, all you need to do is purchase and new computer from your desired source install Outlook 2010 which is free with our package and connect to your hosted exchange account.  Within a few minutes or so depending on how much information you have stored.  Everything will be back, all of your diary entries, all of you contacts and all you folder structures.  Done no more worries.  Even if your PC was stolen, in order you the assailant’s to gain access to you mail they would have to know your password.  This can also be updated at any time.  You’re in safe hands with Hosted Exchange and Spring Media Design’s support team.
