Of course, I can't see why you'd move to outlook when there's some perfectly good cloud computing platforms out there, like Gmail. Google's mail offering is better suited to an on-the-move international organisation. In any case, had they remained on Notes/Domino, they still could have consolidated their databases and cut costs by $100 million. It's the business and procedural changes, rather than the system branding changes which are behind the cost recovery. If you’re only using Notes for mail, then I can see the sense in swapping it out.

They are still swapping out Lotus Notes and Novell Groupwise everywhere.
