Internet-Enable Your Business

This gives customers all-hours access to your business. You can also

Great communications tools help you keep in touch with current customers
through direct, personalized e-mail, and to reach new customers with
automated e-mail or fax mailings.
With flexible customer management capabilities, you can track customers
with a shared contact database using Microsoft Outlook® 2000 and
Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server public folders. You can also assign
individual e-mail aliases to employees for direct, personalized customer
communications. In addition, you are able to provide constant access to
information about your company, through your own Web site.
Enhance Company Productivity

applications on the secure, reliable Windows 2000 platform. With Small

e-mail anytime and from anywhere.
Connect people with knowledge. Use Exchange 2000 and Outlook 2000 to

desktops.
Run your business more effectively with one, or many, of the thousands of
