Did You Get That E-mail?

In a 2006 study, IBM found that “E-mail has become the most pervasive form of business communication...90% of corporate communication is driven by e-mail”

From sending out a quick company-wide memo to communicating with a colleague across state or country lines e-mail is the simplest way to handle your business' day-to-day minutia.

It's even a common way for company personnel to resolve issues, pass along instructions and help the organization grow.

In short, e-mail is everywhere. It's now an essential part of just about every company across the globe. If your company's email system fails, it could be disastrous; a blow from which your company cannot recover.

Anything from connectivity loss to natural disasters can cause e-mail outages. And it could take as much as 48 hours to get your company's email back online, according to IBM's study.

Investing in new technologies and expanding business strategies are keys to survival. E-mail and data recovery has to be part of that plan.
