harmon.ie (formerly Mainsoft) announces 400 % growth of ‘social email’ products to drive SharePoint adoption
Jenna Dobkin    

  

Today at Lotusphere, harmon.ie, formerly Mainsoft Corporation, today announced 400 percent year-over-year sales growth of its harmon.ie ‘social email’ products, which dramatically increase adoption of Microsoft SharePoint by utilizing Lotus Notes and Microsoft Outlook as a social and collaboration interface. More than 80 enterprise customers, including multi-billion dollar Lotus customers such as ABB, Amway and American Water, purchased harmon.ie in 2010 to make enterprise collaboration easily accessible to over 300,000 business users.

Catalysts for Social Email Adoption
Most enterprise collaboration tools today are adopted only by power users, leaving businesses without critical benefits such as improved productivity and consistent content management. Social email is poised to bring enterprise social networking and collaboration tools to every business user because it increases efficiency without requiring users to change their work habits. Among the factors spurring the growth in social email:
 
People switch applications nearly 37 times an hour, according to the New York Times. Dealing with too much information, and continuously toggling between communications and collaboration tools such as email, instant messaging, document collaboration sites and video conferencing, robs people of their ability to get work done.
 
Business users are reluctant to adopt new technologies that address the problem. Of the five or more collaboration and social tools in which most businesses have invested, only the most familiar applications - email and calendaring - have been widely adopted by business users, according to Forrester Research. 
 
The convergence of social media and email in the consumer space, through services like Facebook messaging, is carrying over to the work environment.  According toGartner analysts Matt Cain and Ray Valdez, "Within five years, we think the questions about social networking versus e-mail will be largely moot, as the two elements will have been fused together.”
