No.   If you're aimed at anything approaching the features and scale and capabilities of Microsoft Exchange Server, that's likely what you'll want — Microsoft specifically targets businesses with that product, and with the related and associated products such as Windows Server Active Directory and Microsoft Office.
OS X Server does provide Postfix and Dovecot servers, which comprise an excellent mail server and tools such as a contacts server and a calendar server, but the combination and the integration of Exchange, SharePoint, AD, Office and the rest is far beyond that. 
The closest package on OS X to what Exchange provides is a third-party package from Kerio known as Connect.  IMO, Connect is a good product and is more capable than what OS X Server provides, but still does not compete (directly) with Exchange Server.
If you're not inclined to provide your own IT support and server and network troubleshooting, then you might want to investigate hosted services, rather than running your own OS X Server or Exchange Server, too — there's usually something going on with a mail server, whether it's communications problems, some sort of spam that's now leaking through the filters, or the ubiquitous attacks and relay attempts on the server, and the more mundane tasks such as backups and possibly maintaining some redundancy, etc.
I'd suggest doing some self-examination and figuring out what features you want and particularly what features you need, how big your user and likely mail load is now and the expected growth rates, what your budget for hardware and software and maintenance is, and then running the investigation from there — from what little is posted here, OS X Server and its capabilities could be a good fit, or could be seriously underpowered for what you're seeking.
