EmailTide.com from DYS Analytics Helps Firms Swim, Not Sink, Through Rising Seas of Messaging Overload
WALTHAM, Mass. --(Business Wire)-- DYS Analytics, Inc., whose products and services manage today's top messaging platforms, announced a new blog entitled EmailTide (http://www.emailtide.com) devoted to the challenges and risks of corporate email and IM. With the flood of email impacting productivity and eating into IT budgets, EmailTide.com provides actionable insight into better messaging management practices.
Email overload shows no sign of abating. The average email user now spends two hours and 15 minutes using email each day(1), with one in seven of them saying email use is so overwhelming that it actually decreases their productivity(2). Despite perceptions that email is free, email costs IT about $228 annually per end-user seat - or roughly $2 million a year for a 10,000-person organization(3) - not counting the cost of anti-spam measures, message archiving, IM, unified communications, and collaborative software platforms. Yet with annual email volumes nearly doubling in the past two years(4), and corporate IM use on the rise, the continued messaging deluge threatens budgets, network performance, and organizational effectiveness.
EmailTide.com is an outpost for unbiased observations and commentary on better management practices for corporate email and enterprise IM. Targeted at IT managers, CIOs, CEOs, HR staff, reporters/editors and technology analysts, the blog seeks to elevate the discussion beyond competitive feature/function buzz to the core problems surrounding electronic communications media - and the best ways to facilitate effective use and compliance.
Lead moderator for the site is DYS Analytics CEO Stefan Mehlhorn, a serial entrepreneur with over 15 years cultivating firms with mission-critical, enterprise class software solutions. Topics include
-- The future of email;
-- Enterprise IM's growth and growing pains;
-- Message archiving as corporate risk management;
-- Losing emails, and the high cost of finding them;
-- The latest directions for major platforms such as IBM Notes Domino and Microsoft Exchange;
-- Email policy enforcement;
-- End user training for email best practices.
In a time of proliferating instant communications options, Emailtide.com jump-starts the discussion on evolving role of email and IM - and delivers fresh perspectives on efficient messaging practices.
