MANILA, Philippines, April 13, 2012 - PLDT AppFarm’s new cloud solutions suite now features Microsoft Exchange 2010 that allows enterprises to enhance business communications more cost-effectively.

Organizations can now easily deploy Microsoft Exchange 2010 through pay-as-you-use software and OPEX-based hardware arrangements of PLDT AppFarm that reduce expenses for companies.

“Growing and changing business requirements have made it necessary for companies to evaluate their current email platforms, but system upgrades and migration have always been impeded by cost concerns,” said PLDT EVP and Head of Enterprise and International and Carrier Business Eric R. Alberto.

“Through PLDT AppFarm’s Microsoft Exchange 2010 offering, enterprises now have the opportunity to upgrade their email platforms in a more cost-effective manner. This allows them to enjoy the latest features of the popular platform and the benefits that come with having a cloud-based email system."

Microsoft Exchange 2010 provides efficient data protection for secure communications through multi-layered anti-spam and anti-virus solutions, which can be integrated, as well as automatic encryption features. 

Working and collaborating effectively is made even more possible with the Exchange’s Outlook Web App, which delivers a rich, familiar web-based email experience.  Built-in integrated email archiving capabilities help simplify the process and save costs on preserving business communications. 

Companies can now also focus on their core business, with the monitoring and management of the system handled by PLDT AppFarm partner Dimension Data, a world-class specialist IT services and solution provider and Microsoft Partner of The Year in 2011 for Systems Management
