Outlook Web Access Interface (OWA)

Another key advantage Exchange provides is anywhere e-mail access through Outlook Web Access (OWA). Being able to retrieve their messages from any remote location with a computer and Internet connection, employees can keep current on ongoing business communications. A more informed workforce is more productive, more efficient and executes superior work.

Remote workers from home offices or on the road will always have access to the same information as on-location employees. OWA provides convenient access to e-mail, scheduling (including group scheduling), address book and contact information and all shared information stored in public folders.

You can be confident that using of Outlook Web Access will be as easy as using Outlook. The User Interface is very similar and incorporates new drag-and-drop capability, pop-up menus and toolbars.
