Exchange ActiveSync logo program requirements

The program is designed for handset OEMs that license the Exchange ActiveSync protocol from Microsoft for use in mobile email clients that connect to Exchange. The program specifies features and management policies an OEM must include in its Exchange ActiveSync client to ensure an enterprise-ready experience for end users. These functional requirements can also help address the concerns of the IT professional, who must deal with an increasing number of consumer-purchased devices connecting to Exchange.

Following are the requirements for participation in the Exchange ActiveSync Logo Program. Exchange Partner Marketing plans to add additional functional requirements over time to address market needs.
