If you work in manufacturing and want to keep track of your emails, calendar, contacts and tasks, have access to business systems and use a remote desktop, how do you best set this up?

Here are 3 practical tips and solutions offered by Clear Wave I.T.

1. Host your business email on Clear Wave I.T.’s Hosted Exchange platform

This enables remote access to email, calendar, contacts and tasks.  Also the Hosted Exchange platform allows users to share their calendars which provides visibility of other people’s location and availability. We then help them to decide on the most appropriate smartphone to connect to the Hosted Exchange service.

2. Install Microsoft Small Business Server 2008 with Windows 7 and Office 2010

These three applications work together to allow tight integration with business systems.  Clear Wave I.T. supply and configure the hardware for Microsoft Small Business Server and install the server into the business environment.  Once setup, users can logon to the office desktop computer from anywhere in the world and gain access to important files, applications and email.  Alongside this, users can connect their chosen Smartphone to their Small Business Server and send and receive email on the move.
