The Advantages of Email
By Pauline M. Berry
Email is cheap: recent studies have show that businesses can save large amounts
of money using e-mail, in lieu of long-distance phone calls and postal
deliveries. In addition, fax gateways allow further savings. More and more
formats can be sent via email, anything from CAD files to pictures and
software.
Email will reach its destination across the world in a few seconds as opposed
to days or even weeks with the postal service.
Email doesn't worry about crossing time zones or that collegues are not in
their offices to take telephone calls.
Email can be sent to groups of people at the same time. This facilitates
collaborative working and efficient dissemination of information
Many people prefer to communicate by email. People are more likely to receive
quick but thoughtful responses than if they were using the phone. Some people
become more communicative using email. Email is one of the key building blocks
of telecommuting, allowing the culture of home working to develop.
