Nascor Technologies, an IT products start-up, has announced the launch of tZirr, a revolutionary email management tool, which enables working individuals to manage their inbox effectively, including attachments, prioritizing mails, sending effective responses and in the process facilitating better email etiquette.
This productive utility is aimed at Microsoft Outlook users on Windows OS. It drastically reduces the time spent on identifying actionable mails, dig attachments, store and tag notes, thus enhancing productivity.
Commenting on the launch of tZirr, Narasimhan Iyengar and Lakshminarasimha Bharadwaj, Founders, Nascor Technologies, said, “Email is a revolutionary tool meant to make communication easy. But at times its overwhelming expansion and dependence becomes a burden beyond belief, particularly for working individuals. This email management tool has been designed taking into consideration practical challenges faced by email users. We all know that one cannot live without emails and we have made it easy with tZirr.”
It has been found that an individual habituated to emails, gets distracted visiting the email Inbox at least 50 times a day. A poll conducted by McKinsey Global Institute revealed that 28% of the time spent by employees is wasted sorting, receiving, sending emails. Also, in one of the Harvard Business Review blog threads titled 'Email Is Not Free', it was estimated that “each individual email ate up 95 cents of labour costs”.
“tZirr performs helpful functions, which otherwise requires human intervention with valuable time to be spent. The time thus saved can be directed to focus on core emailing activities like reading and responding to mails to achieve Inbox zero,” Iyengar said.
The five highly productive features of tZirr are:
• Categorize Mails - A feature prioritizing emails in your Inbox by automatically color coding based on whether you are marked in 'TO' or 'CC' field. By coloring each category type, one does not have to spend time opening each email, decide on mail priority and organize them.
• Pen Thoughts - Tag personal sticky notes to an email, thus aid drafting careful responses, pen a check list, add comments, etc. With 'Thoughts Explorer', one can get a listing of all the Thoughts tagged to mails.
• Attachment Explorer - Easily access email attachments buried deep inside mails. From the Explorer view, navigate to mails, list, filter, group based on the attachment type, name, sender, subject, date, etc.
• Bundle Mails - Selectively pack a set of mails to a single PST file; makes it very handy to be sent to anyone, personally store / archive, bundle, file offline in the way you want and even reduce Inbox size.
• Reply All Alert - With this configurable feature, every time you press 'Reply All', a prompt makes you stop & think whether you really want to 'Reply to All'. Drastically reduce mail traffic & better etiquette.
Elaborating further, Iyengar said, ”Who wants their employees to waste time each day on reading, writing and sorting mails? This tool, which is bundled with amazing features such as Attachment Explorer, Tag Notes and Reply All Alert,helps save time as well as business money.”
According to Bharadwaj, there is tremendous scope for using such productivity tools for working individuals, who send or receive more than 50 mails in a day. “For now, tZirr supports all the languages supported by MS Outlook supports. Going forward, we have a lot of features envisaged and make them available on Mac OS and other mail clients such as Zimbra, Thunderbird and for smartphones/devices (Apple & Samsung) and other web mail clients (like Gmail & Yahoo!),” he noted.
tZirr is a home-grown product available for the international market. “Today when people are moving towards paperless office, email has become the best alternative to formal communication. Any email user has some pain points and also wants some key functions to be performed by mail clients without the need for human intervention. tZirr is an attempt in this direction to address simple needs of any mail user and our road map has lot more to offer,” Iyengar and Bharadwaj pointed out.
