Press opinion from the Butler Group
Tags :Announcement
This company prides themselves as
Europe's Leading IT Analyst
Company providing Analysis without compromise
however with this opinion they came out
with without compromise, they attended Lotusphere and came out with this
beauty (that is a pickup of the
original
here that requires free login

Edwards (who is the Research
Analyst - IT Infrastructure, Intelligence, Collaboration for the group
it seems):
Butler Group Opinion
With most organisations only now upgrading
to Release 6.0, I cannot see IBM converting these loyal customers to Notes/Domino
Release 7 any time soon, and as a result this can only weaken the impact
of IBM Workplace on the general market - something of a pity given the
platform's huge potential and significant technological advancements.
I agree that a lot of enterprises are still
heading toward Domino 6, even after 2 years. But why not jump straight
to some release of 7? I know a bunch waited for 6.5.x releases for
the integrated IM and client enhancements. With 7 they can get the
client and new server enhancements all at once.
Does anyone else see this as true or as
an issue? They are using the leverage of companies just moving to
6, and not moving towards 7 as an issue with IBM Workplace family of products?
As I scratch my head at that confusing statement he made, maybe someone
else can make sense of it.
