While there is a lot wrong with email, that doesn’t mean it’s time to drop the idea all together. What is needed is the next phase of the technology – something that marries modern collaborative tools with traditional email. IBM Verse is a cloud-based system that does exactly that, keeping everything we love about email – such as the flexibility to talk to anyone, not just people in your business, and calendar integrations – while adding features like social integration and smartphone support. It also helps overcome one of the biggest pain points of email: the unsorted deluge of the inbox. Through advanced analytics, IBM Verse is automatically able to determine which content, conversations and actions to prioritise, making life easier for the user. This is what email means in the 21st Century.
