Microsoft Exchange has been the main system used by large companies to handle their email and calendars for some time. Previously you would have needed a complex server setup. No longer. As a small business you can have the same as the large businesses, with none of the issues. The service is simply hosted for you. You can share emails, book collaborative meetings without having to own the server hardware and software.
