Chris uses Spike as a task organizer and chat to manage his school’s tech needs

Chris is the marketing & technology coordinator at a school for listening and spoken language for children with hearing loss. Chris has a lot to coordinate with his job. He keeps all the equipment functioning— like computers, TVs, and iPads— in the classrooms and throughout the various departments on campus, manages any accounts or software the school might need, and handles social media and their website.

Managing so many moving parts, Chris is the school’s Jack of all trades and has to be an expert communicator and logistics coordinator. He uses Spike as his email of choice to keep it all organized. “Spike really does a fantastic job of organizing and mass deleting the clutter.”

We found that old email needed some help. Your inbox is something that should make working easy and light, yet we found we were frequently working against our inboxes. So, we completely rethought the design of the inbox, and of emails themselves.

“Everything is sped up: the ability to handle mass deletions. And responding— each response is like a quick text to a friend, almost like a business chat. Even formatting— I don’t really have to worry about format because it just works and looks great. It’s the best email organizer.”
