I’m excited to announce that yesterday we pushed out version 1.0 of The Conductor, the web portal we developed to equip customers with the tools to perform basic administrative functions on their DataYard services.

We only have support for Connect Exchange services built into The Conductor today, but that’s what we set out to accomplish with this version. The Conductor allows our customers to do the self-service tasks people expect to be able to do on their own: create mailboxes, delete mailboxes, change passwords, adjust settings, and the like — any time, day or night.

Good security was a huge part of our develop effort for the interface, so users of the The Conductor have to be flagged by their unique email addresses as admins for their particular domains. DataYard customers who already have Connect Exchange and want access to the tools should contact our support staff by phone at 937-226-6896, or email them at [email protected]. We’ll enable your access after confirming your identity as a domain admin.

By the way, Connect Exchange is DataYard’s implementation of our hosted Exchange offering. It’s perfect for organizations who need to share calendars and contacts, or use multiple devices and need to synchronize communications across desktops, laptops, tablets, or phones. The infrastructure for the entire platform is here in Dayton, Ohio, so your important data is “offsite, but not out of sight”. If you’re interested in learning more about this service please contact our sales department. We’d be happy to talk through the details with you.
