Email is a must for between businesses. Having said that, lots of internal communication is findingther channels, like Teams, Slack, and so on.

We actually heavily rely on connected channels to talk to most of our vendors now. Once you are on enterprise level support pretty much every vendor gives you a dedicated slack or teams channel.
