Any Exchange gurus in here?

I am working for a Dutch company at the moment that design and sell e-mail stationery. I am responsible for the software (client and server side) which configures the target machines accordingly, and manages the licenses. Everything is currently working fine. So far. Now the next “edition” of the product is being targeted at large multi-department companies. Some of these companies are using Exchange Server. It would still be possible to install the software on each client machine, but neither my contact nor I understand the implications involved with using Exchange Server. So, I have a few questions: - How exactly do Outlook and Exchange Server work together? I tried looking at the Microsoft site, but it seems the information there assumes you know already. I am a layman; please explain in terms I would understand. - Each client machine is responsible for storing and inserting various user fields into the e-mail (e.g. name and position). Currently the installer and client side software do this, but if the stationery template was stored on the server, could we then perform some action on it to insert the user details without asking the user to type them in each time? I am not looking for any complex solutions, etc, it must be really simple. Like I said, layman terms please. And if anyone knows of some good information on Exchange for newbie’s – I’d really appreciate a link to it. Cheers, James Millson
