PALO ALTO, CA--(Marketwire - December 17, 2007) - The Radicati Group, Inc.'s latest study,
"Messaging and Collaboration - Business User Survey, 2007," shows corporate
business usage and attitudes with regards to messaging and collaboration
within a broad set of companies across the world.
On average, survey respondents sent 38 e-mail messages per day, compared to
receiving 93 e-mail messages per day. Of the 93 daily e-mails received, an
average of 18 e-mails included an attachment.
On average, survey respondents indicated that 18% of the total messages
received are spam. This is encouraging considering that 75% of all e-mail
traffic is spam, as it suggests that anti-spam technologies are keeping up
with the latest spamming techniques.
According to study, 77% of respondents at times forward their business
emails to their personal accounts. This can be frightening for
organizations -- especially those in regulated industries -- as once these
emails are forwarded outside of the company's network, they are
non-compliant and can potentially be leaked to any number of third-party
individuals.
