Why Atos Banned Emails

Atos, the French IT giant, was much in news, late last year, when it’s CEO, Thierry Breton made a revolutionary move to ban emails in the company.

The 56-year old chief executive (the age is important as you will find out that it is not just young people who prefer social media), a former French finance minister determined  that only 20 out of every 200 emails received by his employees every day are important. It wastes a good amount of employees’ everyday work hours.

Sounds familiar, isn’t it?

So, Atos’ 80,000 employees in 42 countries will have stopped using emails eighteen months from now. They will instead use social media tools and in-person communication.

Our customers might not have taken such radical steps as Atos, but they use KineticGlue more for the same reason – to cut unduly long, inefficient email conversations.

KineticGlue enables our customers to share and track group updates in a single place. Members intuitively understand who is to act on a message. Conversations are threaded, so they are not lost.  There is no need to repeat.  And there are no confusions as to know what is the latest stand on a particular topic.   The most recent conversations are automatically pushed to the top, enabling team managers to stay on top of everyday activities.

This is a refreshingly efficient way of working than sending copies & copies of emails!

You can use KineticGlue to make your work-life more efficient. We are glad to let you know how.  If you are interested, do let us know – you can find the ‘Contact us’ form in our homepage.  You can also setup a free network to try it out with your team.
