Why does email management matter?

Email is the go-to for most business correspondence and important communication. Billions of emails are sent every day across the globe, and a typical inbox can easily become cluttered, unorganized and chaotic, making information hard to find.

The importance of managing email properly

While document and record management processes are usually well-oiled, email is the one thing people tend to manage differently. Some will file and organize their inbox diligently, while others don’t organize any, leaving tens of thousands to pile up in their inbox. This means the business only sees part of the picture when it comes to key communication and can’t access the full context.

The impact of poor email management

Not having a system for managing emails can result in a productivity drain trying to find correspondence, low levels of visibility across the business about who said what and when, enhanced risk as emails can be used against them in court, and, for regulated businesses in particular, incomplete audit trails.

Five reasons why managing email is important:

1

Email is the letter of today and contains plenty of important information

2

Businesses are fed up with everyone doing their own thing in email

3

Staff are spending valuable time on administrative tasks like searching for information or manually filing emails

4

Compliance and audit trails are incomplete without proper email management processes

5

Emails can be used in court against you and those who manage emails and documents better generally win claims and disputes

Five questions to ask around the importance of email:

  • Can you access any project or client email within seconds?
  • Can you see all the correspondence on a project or client that you should be able to?
  • Is email the primary method of formal communication for your business?
  • Do you have a regulatory requirement to file or archive emails to a central location?
  • Can you easily search the inbox of staff leavers or does their inbox typically leave with them?

Enhance productivity

Ensure that your staff can work more productively by improving the tool they use the most. Too often, fee earners are wasting valuable time on clunky email archiving processes or searching for email information.
