Outlook Web Access Logo

 

Outlook Web Access (OWA) is a webmail service of Microsoft Exchange Server 5.0 and later, originally called Exchange Web Connect (EWC). The web interface of Outlook Web Access resembles the interface in Microsoft Outlook. Outlook Web Access comes as a part of Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 and previous versions of Exchange.

I interviewed my friend and colleague Paul Rummell today about his views on Software as a Service (SaaS). We are going to be doing a social networking project on SaaS over the holiday break and beyond.  A group of our clients are SaaS providers.

To walk-the-talk, as it were, we have signed up with 123Together for their Outlook Web Access. They also offer Exchange, SharePoint and Titan. 

I'll report from time to time on this initiative. Our main use of 123Together’s Outlook Web Access right now, is to enable our team who are located all over the place, to have a common email set-up. I am going to use the system to have a separate email to my Blackberry. I also do not want to have to drag my laptop around, something I had to do while on a recent trip to Chicago.
