There are certain drawbacks of e-mail that has forced employers to think of possible new solutions that are effective enough to replace emails. Email lacks transparency,[3] they can be ignored or forgotten, they do not require instant action, the average response time of an e-mail is huge and they lack real-time collaboration features.
Global information-technology service provider Atos,[8] headquartered in France, was able to reduce email by 64% through an internal collaboration system that functions like a wiki, with members of a community — which might be based on a project, client, or topic — editing documents together and getting approval for changes from community members and other stakeholders.[2]
