We are increasingly overloaded with emails. Many people receive hundreds of emails a day, effectively cluttering their ability to read or respond quickly to important messages.
Why use Skype?
- Free, fast and easy communication. The service offers both free text communication and free/low cost telephone and video.
- Presence indication. Instant messaging tools like Skype enable users to quickly see if colleagues are online and available to chat.
Skype in action: how instant messaging can support your work
- Ask the quick and necessary questions: can we talk later, did you send in the report, can you send Paul’s email, etc. They don’t replace email - rather they support the fast exchanges.
- Meet and train. Host free conference calls or chats with colleagues – previously often prohibitively expensive.
- Networks using Skype.
