There are no good replacements of email for companies that do business
with remote partners/clients.  On-line meetings aren't a good
solution, especially when issues are confidential and/or you need a
record of what was said.  Security issues with email have been solved
long time ago, so shouldn't prevent anyone from using email.  Where I
work during my day time, email is very much alive and kicking, and we
all have email clients on our smartphones, so we could respond very
quickly to any important developments.  I can tell you that with our
email-based workflows, we run circles around those of our partners and
competitors who don't.
