Here's further clarification on the Osterman survey they're referencing http://www.e-promag.com/eparchive/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewarticle&ContentID =2051&websiteid=
aside from the disparity between 'official' and 'unofficial' IM usage , there's the question of what percentage of the survey group has 'standardized' under the criteria of the survey. We know that 84% of the organizations surveyed used IM , but only 29% for business apps - is this the standardized population ? In the long run I suspect Jabber is a greater threat to platforms like Sametime than Sametime is to Jabber. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard Dobson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, August 12, 2002 8:02 AM Subject: Re: [JDEV] "Lotus sametime" = really another IM system in this world? > Thats rubbish, being a Lotus focused website most of the companies they > surveyed were probably all Lotus Notes users already so of course they are > going to choose Sametime, just as Microsoft Exchange users are most likely > to go with Exchange IM.
