TELUS Managed Exchange
TELUS Business Email Service is a full communication service, extending beyond basic email. It's a corporate-class email and messaging service powered by Microsoft Communication Services, allowing you to access email, share content and calendar information in the office, at home or on the road.
- Available when you need it, secure and synchronized to all of your Smartphone, PC and the Web with 24/7 support - all with no upfront costs or IT infrastructure investment
- Access to email from almost anywhere from a wide variety of devices and from any location with Internet access
- Peace of mind knowing you have an expert managing and securing your mail system
Outlook offers mail, calendar, contacts and tasks for a single user. When you add the full functionality of TELUS Business Email Service, you now have the option to access the same features from your web browser. You also have access to meeting scheduling, to one another's calendar availability and to public folders - which can be shared between group members. These folders can contain email messages, files, contacts, calendars, tasks and memos.
Unfortunately, for many companies the cost of running an in-house Microsoft Exchange and BlackBerry Enterprise Servers (BES) is simply too expensive. Upfront costs can exceed $10,000, plus staff time to maintain the servers. This is why outsourcing makes sense for many businesses. Business Email Service means that TELUS manages the technology on behalf of your business for a nominal monthly subscription fee. Business email outsourcing allows businesses to enjoy the same enterprise-strength IT that Fortune 500 companies have, but at a price they can afford.
Enjoy the following benefits:
Save Money: save thousands of dollars by not having to purchase server hardware, licenses for Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, backup software, backup tapes, antivirus software, and an expert to setup and maintain it on an ongoing basis

Pros of TELUS Business Email Service |
Cons of In-house Server Implementations |
|
Upfront investment |
Zero upfront costs. No need to purchase server hardware or software; no need for added IT personnel. Ongoing fees are low, predictable and easy to budget. |
Large upfront investment, often thousands of dollars, for hardware, software licenses, IT resources and more. Unpredictable maintenance expenses. |
|
IT Resources |
No dedicated IT resources required. User maintenance can be performed by a non-technical person. All system management is performed by TELUS. |
Requires dedicated IT resources. Managing a typical email system for a 100 person company takes 85% of a senior technician's time. |
|
Reliability and Maintenance |
Backed by TELUS and hosted in TELUS' national Internet Data Centres. Updates performed in timely manner by trained experts. English and French technical support is provided across North America. |
Lack of redundancy and bandwidth, poor administration, delay in upgrades - any of these can cause security and performance issues. Server crashing and email interruptions cause business delays and loss of productivity. |
