ND7 Upgrade Seminar - Toronto overview
Tags :Conferences
Arrival on day 1 was simply to check in and
take in an excellent dinner at East.
A Pan-Asian type in the Entertainment District. I found everything
everyone had quite good. Then out for some jazz music at The
Rex Jazz & Blues Bar. The
live band was recording their cd there that night, so the crowd was lively.
Day 2 in the seminar gave the usual statistics.
Two companies on R5 looking to go straight to Domino 7, everyone
running Sametime was at least on 6.5.1 which was a nice surprise. No
older versions floating around anywhere. There was great interest
in Sametime 7.5 and Hannover too. I think all the press and hype
around them both had the people wanting to get more info and live demos.
I wish I could have complied, but they did get to see Workplace Managed
Client 2.6 and some of it's features during a break.
Overall, everyone is eager to move up for
the server enhancements and many had the valid question of what benefit
the users see over 6.5.x. They got the standard answer. Some
small UI changes, better Domino Web Access and better performance was the
first thing most users will see. AutoSave and a few others are cool,
but we worked more on policy controls and deploying the desktop through
them.
Dinner was at an excellent Italian place
called KitKat
in the Entertainment District again. A nice long dinner with fantastic
service and excellent food led to a short walk to Yuk
Yuks for the late comedy show.
They went through 5 comics, including the headliner. Some went
over the top, a couple were almost crying funny and one left the stage
looking like we the audience get most of his jokes. He was right.
Today has just begun..let you know shortly
