Business Communications Still Defined By Email According To Results of New DeskAlerts Survey
(PRWEB) April 25, 2014 -- The desktop alert system DeskAlerts has published the results of its latest survey after setting out to discover what businesses of up to 1000 employees rely on as their primary communication channel.
The results of the survey showed that small to medium businesses favor one of three main business communications channels. There was a clear leader when it came to picking the most popular channel with email cited as one of the top three preferred channels by 94% of businesses. 63% of those surveyed by the enterprise messaging system said that they also used face to face meetings with their team while in third place, 58% said they frequently utilized daily, weekly and monthly newsletters — a proportion of which would also be distributed by email.
Anton Vdovin, Project Manager at DeskAlerts, said, "It is astounding that 94% of small businesses with less than 1000 employees favor email as a communication channel even given its unreliability and the problems inherent in the medium such as the high levels of emails not delivered, not opened, not understood and marked as spam.
What is clear is that there is a huge potential for those organizations still relying on email to make a huge leap forwards in their business communications strategy by introducing a more sophisticated and strategic system such as the DeskAlerts desktop alert system into the mix."
