Ready to move to a modern Microsoft Exchange hybrid, public cloud, or on-premises email messaging solution? Hewlett Packard Enterprise offers ideal routes for transformation—using a proven methodology to ease transition complexity with minimal disruption to your business.

A robust and cost-efficient email messaging system is at the core of any enterprise digital workplace environment. The role of email messaging in the organization is changing as employee communication and collaboration moves to a mix of email, social, and team collaboration tools. However, email is, and will be for the foreseeable future, the global standard for electronic communication available on any computer platform. It is the default communication media used as a formal channel for information exchange among organizations, their customers, and partners.

Email messaging is used for delivery of notifications by all network-connected technologies across the industry. Email messages can be protected with information rights management and encryption, and archived and used as a record to meet regulatory compliance requirements. Email addresses are classed as personally identifiable information (PII) and commonly used as the primary authentication factor for access to corporate resources and cloud services.

A modern email messaging solution should be agile and scalable to be able to respond to the changes within a dynamically evolving organization. It should be able to cope easily with company mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures. It must be mobile by design and provide an intuitive UI that is accessible securely from any device at any location. The email messaging system of choice should support standard application programing interfaces (API) to be easily integrated with key business applications and corporate security and system management platforms.

Microsoft Exchange Server and Exchange Online are the leading email messaging products and cloud services on the market. It can be deployed on-premises, enabled in the cloud, or implemented as a hybrid solution to provide organizations with the flexibility, performance, and security that meets the business and IT operational needs.
