A detailed survey by The Register has demonstrated how e-mail has become mission critical to most businesses. The website surveyed 1,826 of its readers to produce the report ‘E-mail Criticality, Support and Migration’.
The key findings of the survey include:
• Two thirds of respondents said that e-mail was critical to the sales process, with a further quarter saying it was important. The picture was similar for the customer service process where over 90 percent rated e-mail as critical or important.
• Over a quarter of respondents said the sales side of their business would be significantly impacted within an hour if e-mail went down, whilst a day’s downtime would have a significant negative impact on over three quarters of organisations.
• 70 percent of organisations expect the IT department to respond within 10 minutes when an e-mail availability problem occurs.
