The Email is Dead - Long Live the Email

Ever since email began to rule the workplace, many people have predicted its demise.

It's now 2014, are there are certainly no signs of abatement.

There are many reasons for this, but for us, the one that stands out the most is the fact that email is 100% universal & belongs to no one company. And while it does have it's disadvantages, we believe that no social network or new communication method can override it.

As Winston Churchill said of democracy, "it has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others have been tried".

While we don't doubt there are many communication methods which will emerge over the coming years, our money is on email retaining the number one position as the most prevalent method of communications.

Therefore, the challenge for businesses is to ensure that they use email in the most efficient way possible.
