Introducing Microsoft Exchange

An Exciting and Detailed First Look at Microsoft's New Business
Communications Software

REDMOND, Wash.--March 25, 1996--Microsoft Press announced today the
publication of INTRODUCING MICROSOFT EXCHANGE, the official first look at
Microsoft's groundbreaking new business communications software. 

Written by Bill Kilcullen and the Microsoft Exchange product team,
INTRODUCING MICROSOFT EXCHANGE provides an intimate preview of Microsoft's
new messaging system for all managers, administrators, and developers
interested in Microsoft Exchange. The book is a strategic and technical
guide that provides planning and deployment ideas that reveal how the many
features of the Microsoft Exchange client can benefit users in terms of
efficiency, organization, and effectiveness. Because the accompanying CD
includes a software demonstration of the Microsoft Exchange client and
server, the book provides a way to get a look at the software without
having it installed. 

The book describes the architecture of the new messaging system, which runs
on Windows 95, Windows NT, Windows 3.11, MS-DOS UNIX and the Macintosh
environment, and links this technology to addressing today's challenges in
establishing and maintaining a messaging infrastructure. 

Each chapter consists of four distinct parts. The first explains the
business value of a particular component of Microsoft Exchange for
decision makers who are evaluating Microsoft Exchange. The second contains
the architecture diagrams and the technical discussion of the component
and is targeted at system administrators. The third is designed to explore
the system extensibility of the component and the resulting impacts. 

The fourth asks, "What is the next step?" and suggests books, as well as
other resources and activities, that can enhance knowledge and
understanding of the information covered in the chapter. Overall, the
reader will be taken on a journey that begins with the shared file system
built upon the earliest of PC network technology and ends with the brave
new world of client/server computing, Microsoft BackOffice, Windows
NT-based platform solutions, and global messaging capability.
