They say that email is an imperfect solution that has never been bettered. Users get bogged down with disconnected message threads, extraneous white noise and of course spam and unsolicited invitations.
Collaboration technology vendors have been trying to circumvent these issues by creating platforms with a dedicated approach to what they hope will be a more unified communications space, based on project and team interests.
