Too many of the latest email-replacement workplace communication tools are not improving productivity – they’re damaging it. Don’t just take our word for it – before implementing an enterprise chat solution, take the time to read these two superb dissections of the problems they cause:
- Is Group Chat Making You Sweat (Jason Fried)
- The productivity pit: how Slack is ruining work (Rani Molla)
Instead of reducing the time spent communicating, all these new tools have done is moved that communication to a different app, often one that is more disruptive and less searchable. Is it any wonder that many people are drifting back to email?
But before you do that, we’d urge you to try Vmoso
At Vmoso, we’ve been aware of the productivity issues of constant interruptions and communication fragmentation for a long time, so we have always set out to put the user in control of how they communicate.
We understand the need to balance the (sometimes conflicting) demands of real-time communication and later information retrieval.
And crucially, we’ve always believed that email would prove much harder to replace than people would like to think. So we’ve embraced email, enabling any email user to participate in a Vmoso discussion, even if they’ve never registered for Vmoso.
