Email Turns 40!
With email turning 40 this year, a lot of communication experts and information workers are starting to ask, “Is email still relevant in today’s communication environment?” While it’s easy to see the flaws in email, we’d like to think that it is still a vital part of every business’s communication toolbox. Heck, the “Crackberry” wouldn’t be so immensely popular if this wasn’t the case. That being said, email does have some major drawbacks that need to be acknowledged and considered when deciding on which communication tool to use for specific challenges that your business may face.
We communicate in a variety of ways, and businesses today need a system to facilitate this process better. Email certainly hasn’t lost its importance, but it can’t fix everything.
