Exchange ActiveSync lets users access corporate data stored in the Exchange server or any other EAS compliant server. Users can access information such as e-mails, contacts, calendar, and tasks even when they are offline. EAS can be configured to use SSL encryption to establish secure communication between the EAS host and the managed devices.
