Monday, July 07, 2003SPAM - $0.25 a slice
 independent technology research analysts Nucleus Research have today published their analysis of the effect of SPAM. The bottom line (sic) is '.... the average cost of spam per year per employee is $874.' The calculations are conservative and it doesn't take a degree in mathematics to realise that some form of investment designed to eliminate the effects of unwanted email hitting the employee's inbox will pay dividends. ecommnet has always believed that there is both qualitative and quantitative justification for such investment, now it appears that there is well though out independent evidence to back it up. The leglislation isn't going to help in the short term, if at all, and the uncertainties of leaving core level filtering to your ISP or messaging provider such as Message Labs can not be justified.
