GMIS International Update
 
   
From phone calls, to faxes, to emails ... what will be the "next big thing" when it comes to workplace communication? Many companies, mainly startups, have cut the cord from email. Some have done so successfully. Some people will hold on, of course. However, I applaud this movement as email, to me, is simply an inefficient method of communication in the workplace today. I have been waiting with extreme anticipation for stronger replacement platforms, which are beginning to surface.
