Conclusions
To conclude:
• Email has been useful
• There are alternatives which can provide richer
functionality, better usability, …
• There are barriers to the deployment of new
technologies, both real and imaginary
• There is a need to develop deployment strategies
for new technologies which can enhance your
organisation or your working environment
Once you've started to make use of the technologies, you'll face
challenges in interoperability, finding the stuff, etc.
But answers to these issues are the subject of another talk!
… and email can still be useful – it doesn’t really have to die
