mobile software built right into it, where in the past it required third-party add ons,” Donnelly said. “In this sense, it is a much better integration tool when it comes to manag- ing and deploying a mobile workforce.” Consider information shar- ing. The IBS property man- agement system includes mechanisms to translate data into a PDF format. A system user can create a report, turn it into a PDF, and either email it from the IBS software or place the document on a serv- er so it can be synced directly
to a single or multiple devices. “People are craving this level of portability,” Donnelly said. “They want to be able to access information whenever and wherever they are.” Other areas with key im- provements include email archiving, disaster recovery functionality, anti-virus and malware mechanisms, and heightened efficiency with a true, 64-bit operating sys- tem. “In general, Exchange Serv- er 2010 provides much higher reliability, which translates to better uptime and increased
productivity,” Donnelly said. “Additionally, Microsoft re- cently released its second up- date package for 2010, which means that many features have been enhanced. For anyone who had been waiting for this product to prove itself, now is the time to buy.” What’s next? Microsoft’s Office 365 is an in-the-cloud Exchange Server product. “Of- fice 365 is in its early stages of adoption,” Donnelly said. “It is strengthening and likely will shape up into the ‘next big thing.’” Since its start in 1999 as
an outgrowth of offerings provided to IBS’ real estate clients, IBS Network Services has embraced the most power- ful new and proven products to ensure reliable network infrastructure. From mobile devices and individual work- stations, to enterprise servers and everything in between, IBS provides comprehensive expertise. The firm has a long history of conducting business with large, national hardware and software distributors such as HP, Dell, 3Com, APC, Sy- mantec, Cisco, WebSense and many more. ■

And according to Scott Donnelly, director of sales and marketing for In- tegrated Business Systems Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 is worth serious con- sideration as a cost-effective, flexible option. IBS is a 32-year-old boutique firm that develops and sup- ports high-quality property management and accounting software for the commercial real estate community.

The company is a Microsoft Certified Solutions Provider. “Our IBS Network Ser- vices team has experienced a marked increase in demand as an improving economy begins to enable companies to up- grade their aging servers and operating systems,” Donnelly said. “It seems that businesses are coming out of their holding patterns and are ready to in- vest in technology. Our clients are responding to new require- ments for mobile communica- tion tools that connect their employees out in the field.
