Why Microsoft 365 Exchange Email Is Still the Smart Choice for Small Business

Email remains the backbone of business communication—and choosing the right email platform is more important than ever. While many small businesses still rely on email services bundled with web hosting or free platforms, these options often fall short when it comes to reliability, security, and productivity.

At Excelero IT Solutions, we continue to recommend Microsoft 365 Exchange email as the best solution for small businesses. Here’s why:

1️⃣ Seamless Access Across All Devices

Microsoft 365 Exchange email works effortlessly across your desktop, mobile, and web browser. Whether you’re using Outlook on your computer, your phone, or accessing email via the web, everything stays in sync—including your email, calendar, contacts, and tasks.

This means you can manage your business from anywhere, without missing a beat.

🛑 Web hosting email services often lack calendar and contact syncing, and struggle with large mailboxes.
✅ Google Workspace is a strong alternative, but Microsoft 365 offers deeper integration with the Outlook desktop app.

2️⃣ Simple Setup with Autodiscover

Setting up email on new devices is easy thanks to Microsoft’s Autodiscover feature. Just enter your email address and password—no need to manually configure server settings.

This saves time and reduces support calls, especially when onboarding new staff.

3️⃣ Generous Storage Capacity

Microsoft 365 Exchange provides 50 GB or more of mailbox storage per user. That’s plenty of space for years of emails, attachments, and business correspondence—without constantly needing to delete or archive.

4️⃣ Built-In Security with Multifactor Authentication

Security is no longer optional. Microsoft 365 includes Multifactor Authentication (MFA), which adds a second layer of protection to your email account. Even if someone gets your password, they can’t access your account without a verification code.

This is essential for preventing email-based fraud and protecting sensitive business data.

5️⃣ Enterprise Features for Small Business

Microsoft 365 brings powerful features once reserved for large corporations to small businesses:

• Shared mailboxes (e.g., info@ or support@)
• Calendar sharing and booking tools
• Boardroom and resource scheduling
• Centralized contact management

These tools improve collaboration and streamline operations—without the need for expensive servers or IT infrastructure.
