I agree with Chris - If the goal of the organization is collaboration (I know I will get flamed for this) nothing beats Notes - I have managed both environments each environment has its strength and weakness but in terms of true collaboration and knowledge sharing Notes/Domino is the stronger solution.
Domino and Exchange can coexist - Exchange handling e-mail while Domino for collaboration - we are running in that configuration currently without any problems - also to ease the pain for your users if you lose the battle to management you should suggest iNotes for Outlook - end users will still be able to have the outlook experience for accessing e-mail, calendar, tasks and contacts - -----Original Message----- From: Chris H [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, August 28, 2002 3:35 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Re: Lotus Notes help - sort of IMHO it depends on what the company culture leans towards. If it is hardcore collaboration and mail is an afterthought then Notes might be the way to go; although Exchange is catching up day by day. If it is hardcore mail and communicaiton of the one to one, one to many type then Exhcange cannot be beat. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Smith Joseph" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Exchange Discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, August 28, 2002 4:00 PM Subject: Lotus Notes help - sort of > All, > > Our corporate mangers have decided that we need to replace our > perfectly running Exchange system with Lotus Notes. > > The push for change is being led from the top (non-IT) managers; I > could not > find anyone at any IT personnel at our plants that was actually for > this change (Exchange to Domino)!
