"IDC has forecast that an average of over 36 billion person-to-person emails will be sent daily by 2005. Business email users now spend an average of over two hours a day just dealing with email!" says Email911.com President & CEO Adam J. Boettiger of Portland, Oregon. "Time is only the tip of the iceberg," Boettiger says. Where businesses and corporations are concerned, this loss of productivity translates directly into a tangible and sustained loss of revenue each year. 'Information Paralysis' is becoming increasingly evident among consumer and business users of email."

Boettiger estimates that nearly 20 percent of all e-mail in cyberspace is now spam. Jupiter Communications forsees a FORTY-FOLD increase in spam between 1999 and 2005, from 40 pieces to 1,600 pieces received per person annually. An employee or executive being paid $70,000 per year forced to waste just one hour per day managing an overabundance of email and spam is costing the organization $8,750 per year in salary alone. If that person can learn techniques that will reduce the amount of time spent on email by just one hour a day, it's a payback of $8,750 a year to the organization. In a 100-person company, that's a savings of $875,000 annually!
