Entourage 2008 and Exchange- The Solution for Designers

In the business world, design and media firms occupy a unique space. They are the quirky, creative cousin of the corporate worker, a necessary piece of the commerce puzzle but frequently the t-shirt wearing free spirit in a room full of suits and ties. Nowhere is this more evident than is the choice of computers. Setting aside the Mac versus PC argument, the fact remains that Apple computers dominate the media world for a good reason- they do those jobs very well. The flip side to that equation is the Apple platform hasn’t been historically as well supported when it comes to business applications. IT administrators for design houses have been forced to choose between running substandard ports of native PC applications and maintaining a dual operating system environment. When it comes to centralized business communications, there’s a better option- Entourage 2008 and Hosted Exchange.

Fully integrated with the other Office applications, Entourage 2008 gives users powerful e-mail, task and calendar management, and in conjunction with Exchange server allows users anywhere, anytime access to critical information. With built in sync support for Address Book, iCal, and .MAC services, and ActiveSync capabilities through Exchange to push data to iPhone, Palm Pre, and Blackberry devices, Entourage 2008 lives up to the promise of business ready powerful communications in a native Mac OS environment. Entourage 2008 is a Universal Binary application, able to run on both PowerPC and x86 processors.
