LOS ANGELES — How many work e-mails do you get a day80? 200? 500? More than 1,000? If you are one of the many people who feel overwhelmed by the daily deluge of unnecessary e-mails in your inbox, consider applying for a job at Atos. The French information-technology-services company is hoping to become a zero-e-mail company by 2013.
While the idea of an e-mail-free existence makes the prospect of coming back from vacation more palatable, it’s hard to imagine.
A spokeswoman for Atos told ABC News that the company is still evaluating solutions, but the result will probably be a mix of collaborative social-media tools such as the Atos Wiki, which enables employees to communicate by contributing or modifying online content, and the company’s online chat system, which enables video conferencing and file-sharing.
She added that the company has already reduced internal e-mail 20 percent. Los Angeles Times
