eMail BENEFITS
· Email combines the speed and efficiency of the telephone with the written word.
· It allows users to transfer files and documents.
· It facilitates consultation.
· It is a quick and easy way to allow others to participate in or monitor a process.
· It allows you to easily inform others of what’s happening and is more effective than any other method because of the ability to view documents without the cost and time constraints of face-to-face meetings.
· There are no time or place barriers. You can write and respond to emails whenever you choose – day or night. It can free people from the office, make communications across time zones a simple process, and avoid ‘telephone tag’, where two people leave numerous phone messages as the other moves in and out of meetings.
· E-mail can reduce time spent in meetings by educating participants on issues before the meeting, or it can eliminate the need for the meeting entirely.
· Email can help you organise meetings.
· E-mail allows the user to contact many other users at the same time, eliminating production and postage costs, and keeping many people in the loop at the click of a few keys.
