To whom it may concern....

I am busy looking at implementing at a fairly large organisation (4000
users) a messaging system that will also integrate into SAP R/3.

The two products that have made the shortlist are Exchange 2000 and Lotus
Notes R5. I was wondering if there is anyonwe out there that can give me
some advise on any experience they might have had on implementing these
within their organisations - horror stories, ease of implementation etc. Any
references would also be appreciated.

(Desktop OS will be Windows 2K and potentially Office or SmartSuite - once
again some advise here would also be appreciated - currently have a mix and
match of Lotus and Microsoft software within 8 divisions within the
organisation!)

Thanks for the advice in anticipation

Kind regards

Pieter

(Please do NOT crosspost).

Start by visiting
www.microsoft.com/exchange
and
www.lotus.com
Find comparison between products and compare two reviews.
Also take into account that horror stories (in both cases) are result of
improper management.

Must agree on that one ... read both comparions and find the thruth in the
middle.

I would make a more dtailed list of requirements then do research. Maybe
even try a pilot.
