How is that what you're talking about?

Alan asked a question. Tim called him arrogant. He clarified his question. And you say "this is what I'm talking about!"

Huh?

So, I don't work for IBM, so perhaps someone won't get bent out of shape when I ask it: if the organization was originally successful using Lotus Notes, what was the explanation for moving platforms?

Regardless of IBM's participation in the process, surely there was SOME offered reason why it was important to launch a multi-million dollar migration to another platform. What was it?

Some examples that I've seen before include...

1 Preference for user interface.
2 Server performance.
3 Security concerns.
4 Directory integration.
5 General product integration.
6 Strategic alliance with Microsoft itself.
7 Cost of ownership.

So, if the existing implementation was successful, that pretty much rules out the first 4. Was it one of the remaining 3? Was it something else?

If IBM is going to address whatever category of problem exists to help Notes/Domnino advocates everywhere, it's important to identify the nature of the problem. So what was the lever in this case?

By the way, don't both you and Tim work for the State of New Jersey? So that's just one "company" isn't it?
