SMB allows us to communicate within an organization effectively, members in the organization can communicate within groups or communicate with individuals privately. Using email as a tool to communicate is very common, but there are some problems: 1. One might not know whether recipients have read his mail ( by default ). 2. If many people have replied to your mail, there will be many replied mails and it may be difficult to collaborate. 3. Housekeeping of an email account like purging mails can be time consuming. 4. It can be slow when you send a mail to many people, because many copies of the mail have to be sent. 5. When reading mails, one may find that work related mails are mixed with many other mails and it can be messy. 6. Once you send a mail with a mistake, there is no way of correcting it.
If you want to communicate internally in your organization, then SMB can be a better choice. The reasons: 1. The staff in your organization will be more focused in dealing with work related electronic communications. 2. It is more effective not just in terms of speed, it also overcomes some of the drawbacks in using E-mail mentioned above. 3. With the SMB which is used for internal communication and normal E-mail for external communication, it will help your staff to compartmentalize their communications with others. 4. SMB provides some good features for communication, which are described below.
