Description

Are you currently running Microsoft Exchange 2003, but struggling with reliability issues and losing the cost battle to ever-larger server farms? Are you feeling pressure to upgrade to the latest proprietary solutions, but instead want an alternative that will give you greater choice, increased flexibility, and lower costs? Have you cobbled together an e-mail system from heterogeneous parts, possibly open source, but are now looking to centralize on a proven and extensible platform? Are you comfortable with your Lotus Notes collaborative platform but now want to add unified communications and social software to further drive the productivity and innovation of your work force?

This briefing addresses the "pain points" of companies from all these perspectives. Specifically, we’ll compare collaboration solutions from IBM with those from Microsoft, highlighting the clear differentiators and competitive edge provided by the IBM Lotus solutions. Using both presentations and live demonstrations, we’ll stress the technical advantages of IBM Lotus collaboration services, demonstrate their richness and highlight how they integrate with, enhance and enrich your current email application, be it Lotus Notes or Microsoft Outlook.
