Interesting proposal: Moving an entire company from e-mail to instant-messaging and wikis. Is it possible? Is it even worth it?
Right now, they estimate that only about 20 messages out of 200 are useful. That sounds like bad email management to begin with. At the company I work for, We don't have any spam. Part of my job is to be responsible for the email queue, and every day I go through it, and I do not see any irrelevant emails or "spam".
I do not see this becoming a popular trend for corporations to follow, as this article is trying to make it out to be. I think this is a one-time deal, and won't amount to much more than could be accomplished with a better spam filter and employees who respect the email use policy.
They brag about the fact that they have reduced their internal email volume by 20% in 6 months. Well, with a company-wide BAN in place, I would have hoped for better numbers and a shorter timeline than that.
I think this company should have rethought its strategy, and stuck with E-Mail.
