E-mail is killing networks

Productivity of companies in the IT and telecoms sector is being seriously impaired by e-mail overload, research has found.
A survey, commissioned by Xerox Global Services, has showed that managers from the IT and telecoms industry are more reliant on e-mail to conduct business than their peers in any other sector. This is putting a strain on worker productivity, server storage capabilities and ultimately the organisation’s competitiveness.
The survey, which questioned more than 500 managers from a range of industries, found that IT and telecoms managers topped the average for e-mails in their inboxes by nearly two-thirds with an average 900 e-mails on their PC, receiving 90 more every day compared to an average of 49 across all industries.
