In most organizations today, email plays a key role in the day to day operations of the business. However, security and compliance, along with efficiency and access, are top concerns for IT professionals as they implement and deploy solutions.
Join us for this one-day hands-on lab to learn how to deploy and manage Microsoft Exchange Server 2007. This complimentary training will show how the benefits and new technology can help support and address real problems through these three pillars:

  • Built-in Protection: Exchange Server 2007 offers built-in protective technologies to keep your business moving, reduce spam and viruses, enable confidential communications, and help your company to be compliant.
