Domino: The Future Gets Clearer

Matt Cain from the META Group has a new paper out now explaining the future of Domino. For those that don't know, Mr. Cain is one of the most respected analysts in collaboration software. Unfortunately, I am no longer a META Group customer, so I don't have access to the document. Can anyone out there with access give us a summary?

After two years of equivocation, IBM now has a concrete evolution, coexistence, and migration plan for Lotus Domino users. To ensure business continuity and investment protection, organizations must establish long-term strategies during the next 12 months.

I am trying to find out if IBM has redistribution rights for this report (or if we don't yet, whether we will be getting them). From where I sit, it's a great report -- dispels a lot of the FUD from the last year (some of which originated, ironically, with analyst firms).

Thanks for checking Ed. That would be great if you do have redistribution rights. Matt is definitely on the list of people I look to for the straight scoop on Domino.

It might also quell some of the recent chatter. Then again, it might also get it started again. ;-)

If I might be so bold as to haul out that hackneyed (but true!) old quote from Oscar Wilde:

"There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."
- The Picture Of Dorian Gray
