Hosted Exchange Blog

We know that you love to have your wireless phone synched up with our exchange hosting options, but is it really a good idea to have the phone lit up next to your bed all night? Apparently not. Scientists have discovered that lights that are left on in the bedroom, including lights from cell phones or iPods, can cause you to have a more difficult time sleeping during the night.

Seriously, count the number of glowing lights in your bedroom. You probably have an alarm clock that lights up, a cell phone, an iPod, and if your computer is in your bedroom you also have a wireless router blinking at you all night! This type of lighting is not a great way to get sleep and needs to be darkened as soon as possible. In order to do this, you can remove the devices from your bedroom, or you can simply put a piece of black electrical tape over whatever is lighting up. Alarm clocks are trickier, however, and you may find that you need to get an alarm clock that is not lit as brightly as the one you currently have.

When you pay for a product, you want to be able to get the most out of it. It is a waste to spend money on a program that you don’t use. Unfortunately, this happens all the time, especially in medium or large sized businesses. When you’re paying for a program, you should be able to utilize it on a daily basis. Here are a few ways to make sure that you are making the most out of your hosted exchange server.

1. Get your employees access in their homes. Most employees will already have access to the internet, but if they do not, try to help them to set it up. Your hosted exchange server will allow them to work from home any time they need to.

2. Synch it up! You can synch your hosted exchange server up with any handheld wireless device that you own, provided that it can access the internet. Your hosted exchange server tech support should be able to help you to synch up easily.

3. Ask about all the programs. Tech support at your hosted exchange server’s site should be able to help you to learn about all of the different programs available to you. Make sure you use them! They can save you time, and money, in many different ways.
