There is no doubt, we have a love-hate relationship with email. As much as we say we would like to ditch this modern millstone, there is plenty of evidence to show that email remains entrenched in the information workplace as a core communication tool.

Worldwide email traffic continues to grow at an enormous rate and is now measured in billions of messages per day. This trend is also reflected inside organisations, where according to Gartner Research it is typically growing at a rate of 30% each year.

However, these numbers only tell one side of the story. Access to corporate email might be common place, but opinion remains divided about its effectiveness. As the volume of email has increased, so have the complaints about information overload, the impact of poor communication and inefficient collaboration practices. In response to these issues, technologists have created more new tools that each promise to solve the email problem better than the last.
