WHY YOUR COMPANY SHOULD CONSIDER AN ALTERNATIVE EMAIL PLATFORM
Email has become more critical to the communications needs of small and large organizations than the telephone, real-time
communications systems, fax or even in-person meetings.
“A survey conducted by Osterman
Research in March 2009 found that the
typical user spends two hours and 32
minutes on a typical workday doing
something in their email client.
By contrast, that user will spend slightly
less time on a typical day attending in-
person meetings and talking on the tel-
ephone combined.”
