Re: Considering Domino

We've installed Domino here.  We like it alot.  We've upgraded from 4.6 to 
various flavors of 5, and now we're upgrading to R6.  Initially we 
converted from MSMail to Notes.  Originally it was just because Notes is a 
better email client.  The Trend Micro Scan mail package did a great job of 
virus protection, and most hackers write stuff based on Exchange servers.

Our hidden agenda was to get it in here for it's databases.  Great.  We've 
purchased some packages, like EtQ.  And have written several of our own.
http://www.dekko.com
is Domino based.  And it's a darn good site (for a static site currently). 
 The fellow who designed, and coded that, was in his upper 50's and had no 
Notes, or iSeries experience.  We sent him off to training at:

We are currently using MS Exchange Server for our email. It does an
admirable job but I'm debating switching over to Domino. Has anyone out
there done likewise? I'd be interested in hearing how easy/difficult it 
is.

Also I would like to know the level of difficulty in setting up Domino 
from
those who have done so. Despite all of Microsoft's problems it is very 
easy
to double-click "setup," do some configuration settings and let it go. If
it's like upgrading our EDI package I don't want to fool with it. The 
vendor
says they will install that upgrade for $4,500 (!!!!!). Why should it take
thousands of dollard to install or upgrade ANY kind of software? That to 
me
is crazy.
