Leverage the availability, scalability, and speed of the cloud. AskCody has created a hybrid solution for companies with a non-accessible Exchange Server on-premise called the AskCody Exchange Forwarding Service. The AskCody Exchange Forwarding Service (AEFS) is built as a Windows service, a computer program that operates in the background on a Windows server. The service program is installed on-premise allowing the client to configure the exact data that needs to be forwarded to the AskCody Cloud. AEFS connects your on-premise Exchange calendars with the AskCody Cloud, combining the control and security of an on-premise solution with the availability, scalability, and speed of the cloud.
