UniPhi 19 Feature: Email is dead, long live email

Wouldn't it be great if you worked in a world without Email?

UniPhi software is developed as a collaborative platform for the completion of all project management tasks. As such, teams that have access to the platform can complete all their work without the need for 1 email being sent. In fact, at UniPhi, it's a sackable offence to send an internal email! The transparency this provides immediately eliminates tacit knowledge, turning it into shared knowledge. 

However, not all projects are run entirely on the UniPhi platform. Where this is the case, UniPhi provides integration with MS Outlook so that the project manager can still centralise as much communication as possible onto a transparent platform. In addition, users who can't quite let go of email get notified of changes in the UniPhi system via a collective email on a daily, twice per day or 4 hourly rolling basis. 

This feature really is a half way house to best practice as the benefits of the UniPhi platform's task management and status capability is diminished when users are not leveraging these screens and instead only access the system when emailed. However, we believe in supporting the transition from 1990s management tools to truly digital and hence we offer these interim solutions so that reports are still automated, registers captured, costs tracked, milestones monitored and risks mitigated. 

At least now, in UniPhi 19, those users fully committed to the use of the platform can turn off all notifications and live in the blissful knowledge that there will be 4 less emails to read through on a daily basis. 

Leaving, for them at least, the knowledge that email is dead and for the rest, long live email.

Watch this short video to see how you can turn off email all together or at least only get notifications you want:
