E-Quakes are common, are you ready?
A recent study indicates that over half of all companies have had email downtime in the last year.
For information workers, having email go down can grind business to a fault. In some cases, data is lost, in others emails wait days to be sent or received.
What can you do about it? First of all, delete what you don’t need, archive often and watch the size of files sent over that platform (use YouSendIt for files larger than 5 megs). That’s the finding of the study.
Most important: Back up everything, have an alternative email account (I use Yahoo Mail) and have a contingency plan for your next email outage.
