Based on my conversations with IBM/Lotus experts, my own experience and discussions with other experts, there are a lot of reasons NOT to migrate. But instead, to use iFrames to pull into WebSphere Portal, or to use J2EE at the back-end of Domino front-ends, or to even (gasp) do nothing. Click here to read Alex's expert answer.

The Japanese call them "otaku" -- men who are into animation, comics, video games and homemade PCs. This nerdy collective is turning into the Lords of the Cha-Chings in the Land of the Rising Sun. The "otaku" represent about $2.6 billion in spending power, according to a think tank, and mainstream businesses with a yen for profits should target this brainy bunch in their marketing campaigns. Advertising only on Japan's version of the Sci-Fi Channel isn't enough, evidently. Nice to see young geeks leaving the niche!   Contact Us Sales For sales inquiries, please contact us at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Editorial For feedback about any of our articles or to send us your article ideas, please contact us at: [EMAIL PROTECTED]     Free E-Newsletters!
