Why use the Focused Inbox?

In Microsoft Outlook the Focused Inbox was introduced to help alleviate a messy inbox caused by an overflow of messages. The Focused Inbox is filtered so you only see the important messages.

Focused Inbox uses machine learning better know an AI (Artificial Intelligence) to learn how you use your Inbox, it reviews the incoming emails and filters the important mail in the focused tab and anything else in the other tab.

Our email wasn’t performing very well so we asked Hamilton Systems to take a look & Carl proposed to migrate us to MS Exchange.

Carl was very helpful throughout & the migration went very well.

He was on hand to sort out any teething issues, taking calls early morning & into the night, to ensure we were up & running smoothly.

Would recommend for knowledge, attention to detail & great customer service.”
