I must say being someone who's installed NOTES (R5) that it's all up
to who installed/configured it and their level of understanding of
the product. Trouble with groupware products like Notes and Exchange
is companies figure they dont need moderate/highly priced people who
actually understand what they are doing (it's GUI, so it's easy, right?)
This is the downfall of today's reality in alot of companies, they
trade experienced employees for 'turn key' and 'easily maintainable'
products which seemly dont need an experienced staff to administer. Or
at least that's the crap managers are being sold on.
I must say if I hear another Lotus rep extoll the virtues of
"knowledgeware" one more time I'll shoot them! :)
Sorry, my rant for the month.
