Microsoft has released a major update to its hosted messaging and collaboration software. The Solution for Hosted Messaging and Collaboration (SHMC) version 3.5 incorporates new mobile synchronization capabilities, a variety of security enhancements, and new tools to reduce management time, according to the company.

SHMC version 3.5 targets small and midsize businesses with between 10 and 250 users, and provides "business-class" communication tools on a variety of computing media, such as a desktop computer in the office or a mobile device on the road. The package enables hosting providers to offer customers "enterprise-class" email services, mobile device data access, team Web sites, and online presence information, the company says.


Microsoft lists the following significant new features in version 3.5:

• Support for Windows Mobile 5.0 phones and PDAs
  
  
• Direct Push technology -- pushes new email, calendar, contact, and task notifications to the device using an HTTP connection
  
  
• Remote Device Wipe -- allows administrators to erase sensitive data from a lost or stolen mobile device
  
  
• "Policy Provisioning" -- makes device access more secure by enforcing policies such as minimum PIN/password length and complexity, and wiping the device after a certain number of incorrect password attempts.

For service providers, SHMC version 3.5 can simplify application deployment, accelerate customer acquisition, and improve customer satisfaction through a complete, end-to-end messaging and collaboration suite, according to Microsoft. The package includes deployment automation tools and scripts, code samples, and documented procedures and best practices.

SHMC version 3.5 is available now. Microsoft is offering a series of one-day seminars worldwide to introduce and explain hosted Exchange services. is offering a series of one-day seminars worldwide to introduce and explain hosted Exchange services.
