Should we stick with Domino?

Hi All,

We are currently running Domino 4.6b on our V4R5 AS/400 which is a model
720. It has 123GB disk space running at 53% and 2.5GB memory.

There will be around mail 150 users.

We currently do not have a connection to the Internet for email but will
have once this decision has been made.

Obviously we will need to upgrade no matter what, but should be we stick
with Domino?

We make very little use of databases. They are used mainly for a few IT
documents, like problem fixes etc.

We do use calendaring and To Do lists.

Replication is cool for remote users.

And we may or may not use it as our web server.

Why should we stick with Domino? I know the new version lets you use
Outlook. That is pretty good. Is it only for mail or can you open databases
as well?

Any reasons why we should use Domino Web Server instead of AS/400 Web
Server?

I know newer versions have really enhanced browser mail access over previous
versions.

Any other good reasons?

I know you guys are all for Domino that is why you are on this list but I
would like some answers from you people who have gone the way of Domino for
one particular reason or another.

Or for what we want are just better off using the AS/400 SMTP and POP
servers?

TIA
