We at RELITEK Solutions, Inc. know the value of messaging as it pertains to corporate business practices. We also know that a reliable messaging infrastructure is dependant on a solid network infrastructure. The entire messaging platform that we implement revolves around Microsoft Exchange Server, which is tightly integrated into the network infrastructure.
All of the messaging solutions that we offer fulfill business needs and help to foster efficient communications. We have several solutions that we implement based on the Microsoft Exchange Server platform.

Consultants at RELITEK Solutions have been working with Microsoft Exchange Server since the mid 1990’s beginning with Exchange 5.0/5.5/2000/2003 and currently with 2007. We also have extensive experience with Microsoft Outlook dating back to Microsoft Outlook 95/97/2000/XP/2003 and currently with Outlook 2007.
RELITEK Solutions’ consulting engineers have a great deal of experience in planning, designing and implementing Microsoft Exchange Server in many different environments ranging from small size companies with one server all the way up to large enterprise environments with multiple locations and multiple servers. We specialize in Exchange migrations; diverse implementation scenarios and upgrades; and total customization and configuration of Exchange.
Planning, designing and writing documentation are critical factors when performing a migration, implementation, or upgrade. All facets of the environment that pertain to messaging are documented ahead of time in a network assessment document. After careful analysis this document will provide the foundation for blueprinting a precise design, making deployment a seamless process.

Faxing
We at RELITEK Solutions know that for most companies faxing is an important tool for communication. We also know that sending and receiving faxes in large volume can be a very cumbersome task. Many business owners are not aware that faxing capabilities come built into Microsoft networking server platforms. Faxing capabilities include having all inbound faxes being directed over the network and saved in a shared folder on a Windows Server where specific people can have access.
Or faxing can be configured using 3rd party software so faxes are routed into a person mailbox on the Exchange server, giving each user the capabilities to send and receive faxes from Outlook. This is made possible using DID phone lines.
