International Business Machines Corp. (NYSE:IBM) has joined the race of clean, simple and manageable email tools. It has announced a new email client called Verse which will bring innovative and useful features to the email world. Pictorial representation of emails and on the go management are the pronounced features of Verse. In an article on The Wired, some of the eloquent features of the Verse tool were reviewed. Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOGL) are the main parties which will be challenged by this new email tool.
Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOGL) recently launched its new app for email called Inbox. Inbox automatically sorts email, prioritized email based on time stamps, content and senders. International Business Machines Corp. (NYSE:IBM)’s Verse on the other hand uses images as its most important channel for data representation. On the top of the IBM’s Verse Interface, there will be images of your top contacts. Whenever you will receive an email from them, a red dot will appear on the sender’s image. It’s more like a text messaging app. Unlike Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOGL)’s Inbox, Verse will give more integrability for the Enterprise. International Business Machines Corp. (NYSE:IBM) is planning to challenge Dropbox and Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) too with this new step.
Verse will have file sharing service as well. You can upload files of any size and share the link with the sender instead of uploading the files as we do in Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOGL)’s email app. People can edit files, create and delete files on the go with Verse. Dropbox is currently the main source of file sharing in small and large businesses, but International Business Machines Corp. (NYSE:IBM)’s Verse can replace it in the coming days.
After Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT), International Business Machines Corp. (NYSE:IBM) is ranked second as the largest email solution provider for businesses and enterprise. It will have a key advantage on other competitors because of Notes.
As of June 30, 2014, Ken Fisher’s Fisher Asset Management owns over 700,000 shares of Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOGL).
