Burlington, MA, March 10, 2008 - 123Together.com, the leading provider of hosted enterprise-class messaging and collaboration solutions such as hosted Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 1 and hosted Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 SP1, announced today that it welcomes Apple’s recent announcement of support for Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync in the beta release of Apple’s iPhone 2.0 software.  This new feature enhancement will provide wireless “over-the-air” push email, allowing users to access email, contacts and calendars and enabling IT administrators to remotely “wipe” the device if lost or stolen so data will not get into the wrong hands.

123Together.com’s hosted Exchange service provides small and mid-size businesses with immediate enterprise-class messaging and collaboration tools including full support for BlackBerry Enterprise Server, Windows Mobile and Good Messaging Server.  Mobile users have anytime, anywhere access to their email which enables them to view calendars, schedule meetings, and access contact data without having to return to the office to synchronize their data.

Although a popular mobile device with consumers, the iPhone has not been widely accepted as a business tool due to its lack of two-way wireless synchronization with Microsoft Exchange Server.  With Apple’s licensing of Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, iPhone users will be able to take advantage of the full features and functionality of 123Together.com’s hosted Exchange service with mobile support previously only available to users of BlackBerry, Treo, PocketPC, SmartPhone, and Windows Mobile devices.  Apple’s iPhone coupled with 123Together.com’s two-way wireless synchronization with hosted Microsoft Exchange Server will allow executives, sales people and other mobile employees to be in touch with the office no matter where they are, increasing productivity and responsiveness to their colleagues and customers.

“We welcome Apple’s decision to support ActiveSync in the iPhone”, said Ravi Agarwal, chief executive officer of 123Together.com.  “This will enable a whole new set of mobile business users to take advantage of Microsoft Exchange as a hosted service and stay connected to their email, calendars and day to day tasks at anytime from any location.  This announcement will enable greater implementation of hosted Exchange by iPhone business users as well as increase purchases of iPhones by the mobile workforce.”

iPhone users can take immediate advantage of 123Together.com’s hosted Exchange service to increase corporate productivity and collaboration. Although two-way wireless synchronization will not be widely available on the iPhone until June, users can take immediate advantage of 123Together.com’s hosted Exchange to access their  email wirelessly through IMAP in addition to  their office PC’s, laptops or from any online device via a web browser.

Burlington, MA, February 27, 2008 - 123Together.com, the leading provider of hosted enterprise-class messaging and collaboration solutions such as hosted Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 1 and hosted Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 SP1, today announced the availability of migration tools and assistance for small and mid-size businesses (SMBs) who wish to migrate their email from a previous version of Microsoft Exchange Server or another email program to its hosted Exchange Server 2007 SP1 service.

123Together.com’s hosted Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 SP1 service empowers businesses to take advantage of the same messaging and collaboration tools used by Fortune 500 companies by providing them with immediate access to the latest version of Microsoft Exchange. 123Together.com’s hosted Exchange service offers businesses greater functionality, and improved stability including access to Exchange 2007 SP1 features such as a more efficient and easier to use interface for Outlook Web Access, support for mailboxes as large as 15GB, fast performance on 64bit servers, shared and dedicated (including clustered dedicated) server options, instant message searching capabilities and more.

IT managers wishing to utilize Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 SP1 in-house are discovering that it will be an expensive and time consuming road ahead. An in-house upgrade requires a significant capital outlay due to the requirement for new 64bit hardware. In place upgrades are not possible from prior versions of Exchange Server to Exchange 2007 and additional personnel may need to be hired or existing staff re-trained for proficiency with the command line administration interface utilized for the management of Exchange Server 2007. Other peripheral applications such as Backup, Anti-virus and mobility software may also require significant upgrades in order to support Exchange Server 2007.

Companies can capitalize on 123Together.com’s hosted Exchange Server 2007 SP1 without making investments in technology or personnel. Additionally, customers have the advantage of utilizing this technology without having to manage, monitor and maintain in-house hardware or software on an ongoing basis. Along with full Exchange 2007 SP1 access, customers receive an easy to use web-based administration interface, 24×7 US based phone and email support, and full support for BlackBerry Enterprise Server, Windows Mobile and Good Messaging Server support. 123Together.com also provides customers with a 99.9% uptime guarantee on its shared servers and a 100% uptime guarantee on its dedicated servers.

“The new hardware and additional financial outlay required for an in-house migration to Exchange Server 2007 SP1 has caused many businesses to rethink a possible upgrade,” said Ravi Agarwal, chief executive officer of 123Together.com. “However, by using 123Together.com’s Exchange 2007 hosting service, we will work with individual businesses to migrate their mailboxes and data as quickly or as slowly as they require and provide them with automated tools to customize the process to their needs. Transitioning employee email at a rate that they can easily absorb is key to making the migration as seamless as possible.”

123Together.com offers hosted Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 SP1 on both shared and dedicated servers. Various levels of free migration assistance are available for dedicated server customers based on the server level purchased.

New Features and Enhancements
—————————–

Local Continuous Replication (LCR) and Cluster Continuous Replication (CCR):
In its continuing quest to offer messaging solutions with the highest availability, 123Together.com is now offering new dedicated Exchange hosting customers the option of utilizing Local Continuous Replication (LCR) or Cluster Continuous Replication (CCR) services with their Exchange 2007 dedicated servers. The LCR option allows for a fully redundant mirror of all hosted data to be maintained on the customer™s Exchange Server on secondary storage devices whereas the CCR option allows for customers to have an alternate server which maintains a full mirror of their data. By utilizing 123Together.com for their Microsoft Exchange Server needs customers can take advantage of these latest technologies which have been improved with Exchange Server 2007 SP1 and maximize their server availability and uptime.

The Outlook Web Access which is offered with Exchange Server 2007 was redesigned to enhance ease of use and has been further upgraded with Service Pack 1 to offer even more enhancements:

Public Folder Access:
Service Pack 1 now supports the creation, modification and access of public folders by OWA in addition to MS Outlook. This allows companies to share documents and access files via an Outlook and OWA and also use search capabilities.

Enhanced Security:
The new S/MIME (Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) feature helps secure messages by preventing impersonation and tampering with email messages in OWA. Users can now encrypt outgoing messages and attachments so that only intended recipients who have a digital certificate can read them. A digitally signed message assures the recipient that the message has not been tampered with.

WebReady Document Viewing:
The addition of WebReady document viewing in Service Pack 1 now enables the conversion of Word documents, Excel worksheets and PowerPoint presentations into HTML files allowing documents to be viewed as a web page.  This is helpful for mobile users who may only be able to access files via a web browser.

In addition to these key OWA enhancements, Service Pack 1 also provides 123Together.com customers access to other OWA features such as personal distribution lists, recovery of deleted items, monthly calendar views, and additional language support in spell check.

Import of PST Files:
Service Pack 1 now allows 123Together.com to assist its customers in migrating to its Exchange 2007 platform by also providing the ability to import Outlook .pst files directly to the exchange server. This service allows small and medium sized enterprises to migrate from older versions of Exchange to Exchange 2007 SP1 hosted by 123Together.com over a night or a weekend by just providing access to the mailbox data.

“Uptime and the ability to communicate and collaborate from anywhere at anytime have always been of primary importance to SMBs.  With the new features in Service Pack 1 our customers can now be even more certain that they are utilizing the best-in-class messaging and collaboration tools to grow their businesses,” said Ravi Agarwal, chief executive officer of 123Together.com.  “With the addition of replication and OWA enhancements our customers can be assured of being able to access their data any hour of the day or night no matter where they are in the world.”

Burlington, MA, May 22, 2007 - 123Together.com, the leading provider of hosted enterprise-class messaging and collaboration solutions such as Hosted Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 and Hosted Windows SharePoint Services v3.0, has recently rolled out additional automation tools which address the needs of mid-market companies, enabling them to easily utilize the latest e-mail and collaboration technology in a hosted manner.

Medium-sized businesses are struggling to fulfill the growing storage and technology needs of their users. In-house IT management has become extremely difficult because of the high penetration of ever-changing two-way smart phones, user demands for larger mailboxes and new products like Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 - which requires new 64-bit hardware and features a completely redesigned management interface.

The tools and processes that 123Together.com has developed provide a turnkey alternative. €œOur exclusive suite of tools makes the lives of all IT professionals easier when managing and provisioning Exchange Server in a hosted environment,€ said Ravi Agarwal, chief executive officer of 123Together.com. €œTypically, mid-sized companies have limited resources making growing, maintaining and monitoring systems, software, networking and storage gear a significant challenge and an impediment to future growth. Our hosted platform allows companies to easily scale as their messaging requirements increase - without having to make investments in IT, personnel or other resources. Additionally, our 100% uptime SLA allows them to hold us accountable.€

Easy Migration Processes
123Together.com allows organizations to migrate their mailboxes and data as quickly or gradually as needed and provides customizable processes for both scenarios. Being able to transition employees’ e-mail at a rate that the organization can easily absorb is key to making the transition as simple and painless as possible.

Bulk Export and Import
123Together.com is the only Hosted Microsoft Exchange provider to offer bulk export and import tools. In-house solutions and other Exchange hosting providers typically require customers to create one mailbox at a time. 123Together.com’s industry exclusive Active Directory Export and Bulk Spreadsheet Import tool allows for quick creation of all of an organization’s mailboxes, contacts, and distribution lists.

Policy-Based Controls
Exchange Server is typically managed one user at a time. For its larger customers, 123Together.com offers Policy-Based Controls where settings on groups of users can be changed collectively with one action. These settings include limits on access mechanisms, advanced settings, as well as mailbox quotas. Customers can have mailboxes as large as 15GB.

Password Policies
123Together.com allows customers to control the password policies for their users. Administrators are able to control the type of characters which must be included, password expiration as well as other settings which ensure that their users’ passwords are in compliance with their corporate policies.

Backups and Archiving
An organization’s IT staff can also control the frequency and storage of their backups. 123Together.com ensures that backups function correctly and tests them regularly to ensure that data can be restored if necessary. For organizations which comply with Sarbanes-Oxley data retention laws and have special archiving needs for compliance, litigation and quick retrieval, being able to control data backup and retention is a key benefit in choosing a Hosted Microsoft Exchange solution from 123Together.com.

Employee E-mail Setup
123Together.com has developed its own Outlook Auto Setup Tool, which allows IT professionals to set up new employees with the most appropriate Microsoft Office Outlook and Exchange Server configuration, for that desktop, in just a few clicks.

Burlington, MA, April 10, 2007 -123Together.com, a leading provider of Hosted Microsoft Exchange and Windows SharePoint Services, announced today it is now offering Hosted Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, a significant upgrade of the industry leading platform for e-mail, mobility and collaboration.Designed to meet all of an organization™s unique messaging needs, Exchange Server 2007 is immediately available and accessible to small and medium businesses through a hosted environment thanks to 123Together.com and its Fortune 500 infrastructure.

123Together.com is the first provider to bring Hosted Exchange 2007 to market using the Microsoft® Solution for Hosted Messaging and Collaboration (HMC) Version 4.0 - the only platform that Microsoft has designed, tested and validated for Exchange Server hosting. 123Together.com is the first and only Exchange Hosting provider to have implemented Microsoft™s extensive design for Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 hosting so that SMBs can start using it today.

Benefits of 123Together.com’s Exchange Hosting

123Together.com empowers SMBs to have the same resource as most Fortune 500 companies for three main benefits:
1) anywhere, anytime access to their full Microsoft Outlook data from any computer or mobile device
2) increase productivity via calendar sharing and collaboration
3) peace of mind knowing that experts are maintaining, updating, and securing the system continuously.

“We are able to provide the power of Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 to SMBs. Companies that normally could not even consider implementing Exchange Server 2007 in-house can now sign up and start using it immediately - no need to purchase new 64bit servers, retrain administrators or hire consultants. We are also seeing mid-market companies show more interest in outsourcing their messaging and collaboration and having it managed by Exchange experts, said Ravi Agarwal, chief executive officer of 123Together.com.  Additionally, Microsoft has designed Exchange Server 2007 for larger mailbox sizes. Recognizing that many customers use their Microsoft Outlook as a virtual filing cabinet and are too busy to clean their mailbox on a regular basis, 123Together.com has increased the maximum mailbox size by 50% to an industry leading 15GB for Exchange Server 2007 hosting.

Why Hosted Exchange instead of in-house?

Implementing Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 in-house for most SMBs does not make sense from both an ROI and an availability perspective. For organizations currently running a previous version of Exchange Server, upgrading to the latest version will typically be very expensive as they must purchase new 64bit hardware and existing Exchange administrators must be retrained due to significant changes in the way Exchange Server is installed and administered.

However, it is after the initial installation that the majority of expenses are incurred in maintaining a mission critical application such as Microsoft Exchange Server. The in-house installation requires spare storage and servers as well as 24×7 proactive monitoring to ensure uptime.

“Exchange Server 2007 requires companies to make a large investment of multiple servers and re-training of personnel.  It is much less costly and time consuming to outsource your Exchange hosting needs to 123Together.com, added Agarwal.

BURLINGTON, Mass.–123Together.com, the leading provider of Hosted Microsoft Exchange, SharePoint and CRM services is now offering a complimentary version of Microsoft Outlook 2007 to every user of the company’s Exchange Hosting service. Outlook 2007 is the latest release in Microsoft’s long line of award-winning e-mail, messaging and collaboration clients. This version includes many new features and improvements designed to further improve productivity.

Outlook is the most widely used e-mail software in the world with hundreds of millions of mailboxes in use. With Outlook 2007 and Hosted Microsoft Exchange from 123Together.com, the daily productivity of office workers everywhere can be significantly improved. Outlook 2007 has major enhancements over the previous version, Outlook 2003, ranging from deeper integration with the latest versions of Exchange Server, SharePoint and CRM (all of which are provided as hosted services by 123Together.com), as well as improvements in calendaring, collaboration and information management.

“Outlook 2007 is a powerful tool that allows people to improve their productivity, manage their information and organize their time,” said Ravi Agarwal, chief executive officer of 123Together.com. “Microsoft has done a great job of integrating Outlook 2007 with Exchange Server, SharePoint as well as Dynamics CRM so that users can easily access the information that drives their business through a familiar and effective interface. Outlook 2007 brings powerful software options to the SMB marketplace, one that has traditionally been unable to obtain this level of integration and collaboration.”

Some of the major features and enhancements included in Outlook 2007 include:

Advanced searching capabilities - The new Instant Search tool allows users to not only conduct keyword searches of their Outlook 2007 messages but also within e-mail attachments.

Centralized communication management - Users can now read and manage Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feeds and blogs right from within Outlook 2007. This allows users to organize and manage more of the information they use on a daily basis from one central location.

Mobile device integration - Outlook Mobile Service (OMS) provides the ability to send and receive text and picture messages between Outlook 2007 and any mobile phone. OMS also enables users to forward Outlook e-mail, contacts, appointments, and tasks to themselves or other people as text messages. This capability, along with 123Together.com’s two-way wireless sync services for the BlackBerry, Good Messaging and Windows Mobile services, ensures that users will always have the most current information whenever or wherever they need it.

Less junk mail and improved phishing protection - To help protect users from divulging personal information to a threatening Web site, Outlook 2007 has an improved junk e-mail filter and has added new features that disable links and warn users about threatening content within an e-mail message. These issues are amplified in a corporate environment and the combination of the enhanced Outlook 2007 filters along with the free anti-virus and anti-spam services provided by 123Together.com’s Hosted Exchange services help ensure comprehensive coverage and protection.

Integration with SharePoint 2007 - Users can connect and access SharePoint 2007 documents, calendars, contacts, tasks, and other information through Outlook 2007, giving them a central place to manage information. Because 123Together.com provides hosting for both Exchange and SharePoint, customers able to get the benefits of both services without performing backups, upgrades and all the other tasks required for creating a 24×7 environment for their users.

“The capabilities of Outlook 2007 are beyond what people have grown accustomed to,” continued Agarwal, “and customers have responded very positively to our providing them with the newest version. Helping our customers understand, stay current and apply new technology to their business challenges is just one of the benefits we provide.”
