Secure Exchange E-mail Hosting

Sometimes a doctor needs to communicate about protected health information (PHI) via e-mail. Unencrypted messages can expose the healthcare provider with significant breach penalties. As a result e-mail encryption offers a safe-harbor under HIPAA when it comes to e-mail communication. ClearData Networks provides secure e-mail services using encrypted Exchange.

For small and medium-sized businesses lucky enough to have an in-house IT team, keeping email up and running is just one of the many responsibilities these individuals must stay on top of, joining security, database, Web and network administration, to name but a few. In fact, managing, Microsoft Exchange Server takes away from running the business' core applications and prevents the IT manager from taking a strategic role in IT planning.

For companies with strapped and/or non-existent IT teams, outsourcing Microsoft Exchange can be a smart cost-effective option. Gartner predicts the market for hosted email relative to total email seats to grow from its current 1 percent to 20 percent by 2012, representing 40 million hosted mailboxes within the next 3 years.

Advantages of Hosted Exchange

Hosted Exchange is a full featured Microsoft Exchange solution hosted on a secure web server that can be accessible from any location and any internet enabled device. There are a number of advantages of using Hosted Exchange vs running your own Private Server:
