E-mail flood incurs billions of dollars in costs

Karlsruhe, Germany – Professional communication has changed: people have to manage an ever increasing number of e-mails. International studies show that the flood of e-mails sent and received poses a growing problem for business. The German software vendor Axonic Informationssysteme GmbH offers a solution that helps people get a grip on the flood of e-mails pouring into their inboxes every day: The Outlook®- AddIn Lookeen Version 2.1, which is now available on www.lookeen.net.

A survey carried out earlier this year by the Radicati Group found that around 220 billion emails are sent and received each day worldwide. Other studies forecast an annual increase in e-mail volumes of about 40 per cent. It is safe to assume that many of these e-mails contain information worth archiving. In Germany alone it is estimated that 4,700 e-mails are stored on each and every workstation.

It’s not the filing of e-mails that takes time, it’s retrieving them. According to e-mail marketing specialist Absolit, each employee spends an average six to 12 minutes a day digging around in personal folders and server archives for buried messages.

Research carried out by the Basex Institute shows that these searched come at a high cost for business. Employees in companies in the United States spend approximately 28 billion man hours per year just searching for e-mails. This time is the equivalent to nearly US$ 588 billion.

The solution from Germany to significantly reduce searching time
Introducing Lookeen, a product by German start-up entrepreneurs Martin Welker and Peter Oehler, which significantly speeds up the search for data. The application provides comprehensive, neatly categorized and clearly presented results, searching through all e-mails, contacts, Outlook tasks, notes and attachments in a matter of seconds.

The secret to Lookeen lies in its indexed search methodology. Lookeen indexes personal mailboxes as well as external sources like Microsoft Exchange Server®.

Lookeen 2.1 is the latest version of the product, bringing significant enhancements. “The new Lookeen Group Policy makes it easier for mid-sized companies and large enterprises to distribute Lookeen”, said Peter Oehler, COO of Axonic Informationssysteme GmbH. “With this new version, system administrators are able to manage information efficiently and to coordinate the data access easily“.

Lookeen has simplified the Outlook® search for thousands of users in over 40 countries worldwide since 2008. Version 2.1 is being sent to customers as a free update. New customers can download a 14-day free trial version at www.lookeen.net.

Lookeen can be purchased online for US$ 39.80.
