WEBCAST: The Evolving Role of Email in the Social Workplace

holliwagner — Fri, 08 Mar 2013 21:41:21 +0000

Date: March 21, 2013
Time: 2pm-3pm Eastern
Location: Online

Is email still the “killer app” it used to be? Social technologies and mobile capabilities are changing the way people communicate in the workplace. Many organizations are employing BYOD strategies and embracing social business tools like file sharing, chat, wikis and communities. In the past, email was used for storing and sharing documents and having conversations with groups – tasks which are much better suited for today’s social cloud collaboration tools. Email usage may be evolving, but email is not dead. In fact, everyone in the organization from executives to factory workers needs email to stay connected. And many organizations are moving their messaging to cloud to take advantage of the flexibility and cost savings a cloud environment provides.
In this webcast, you will learn:

• How the nature of email has changed and why everyone in your organization still needs it.
• Why the cloud makes sense for messaging for everyone from executives, to sales, to boundary workers, either as hybrid solution or for the entire workforce.
• How email complements social business technologies and how you can start using your email more efficiently in the workplace.
• How moving messaging to the cloud can help reduce IT cost and complexity.
