C-MAIL is a user-friendly, intelligent SaaS add-in to Microsoft Outlook support canada that automatically and dynamically prioritizes email messages. C-MAIL's patent-pending algorithms work in the background taking into account users' clicking behavior, past email history, configurable company business rules, and various other optional user input. This dynamic prioritization and "smart" learning results in superior accuracy of email prioritization - and relieves the burden of endlessly sifting through email, thus saving precious time and enabling faster decision-making on important email. Easy to learn and quick to set-up, C-MAIL functions without modifying Outlook's email rules, folders, or archiving policies.

"Most email overload solutions available today rely on static rules-based technology and are limited to individual PC software that cannot effectively keep up with or adapt to the speed of business," said Manish Sood, CEO of C-MAIL Corp. "We developed C-MAIL's globally scalable solution specifically targeting the email productivity and reporting needs of corporate users. C-MAIL applies a fundamentally different technology consisting of dynamic prioritization of email, intuitive learning capabilities from individuals and groups, single-click workflow, meaningful email analytics, security and privacy controls, and enterprise-grade reporting. The benefits of using the service speak to the strong value proposition."

C-MAIL's patent-pending technology automatically analyzes individual and company email data to map organizational social networks, providing end-users and managers alike with a better sense of communication bottlenecks, productivity benchmarks, and key performance metrics. With C-MAIL, users can gain immediate efficiencies from the start. By analyzing the solution's robust real-time metrics and intuitive reporting, users can improve overall productivity, speed of decision-making, customer service, group collaboration, knowledge management, and efficient email data archiving.

"For many workers, the inbox becomes a cluttered and very unfocused to-do list resulting in excess time spent either determining which emails are high priority or constantly searching for actionable emails - which in turn becomes a very inefficient way to do business," said Sood. "Recent studies have shown that one minute of interruption can cost 15 minutes of lost productivity. With nearly half of your workday spent reviewing and managing email, the majority of which are non-urgent, businesses in today's economy need a 'smart' productivity solution that ensures that the workforce is clearly focused on business priorities - C-MAIL is that very solution."
