Conquer your fastest growing content challenge...and reclaim many hours of your workday
E-mail has evolved into the de facto standard for business communication. In fact, according to Gartner Group, as much as 75% of a firm’s total knowledge exchange occurs via e-mail. Ironically, although e-mail serves as the default communication tool for most firms, it can actually inhibit collaboration. Designed for one-to-one communication, use of e-mail for many-to-many discussions quickly splinters into overlapping threads and round robin decision-making. In addition, the e-mail inbox has become yet another repository for business data, forcinglegal professionalsto search multiple repositories to find information related to their matters -- a significant drain on productivity.
But loss of productivity is only the tip of the iceberg. Beneath the surface, countless hours of lost employee productivity are accompanied by loss of business data. If the Outlook Personal folder (PST), stored on an individuals’ computer is lost (due to hard drive failure, lost computer or employee turnover) many valuable messages may be lost forever.
Most e-mail management solutions today focus on logging e-mails and archiving them in a dedicated repository that is separate from the e-mail server. Although effective in terms of reducing the load on e-mail servers, this solution does nothing to improve worker productivity, by far the largest cost element. The most effective way to deal with e-mail overload is within the context of a company’s overall content management strategy. The Interwoven E-Mail Management modules provide a comprehensive solution for both Microsoft Outlook and Lotus Notes.
