IBM is trying to tempt IT departments to transfer from
Microsoft Exchange to Lotus Domino and Notes systems running on
Linux.
The firm is offering resellers up to £11,500 for converting
e-mail customers through an £11-per-licensed-seat scheme. The
scheme is part of a new programme called "Migrate to the
Penguin".
As part of the effort, IBM is also offering a service that will
let users have their Domino servers hosted on a trial basis, rather
than have the Domino and Notes software installed on company
servers.
Microsoft and IBM lead the market in providing e-mail and
desktop productivity suites. Earlier this year, Microsoft released
a set of software tools designed to allow Domino and Notes users to
more easily transfer their data to an Exchange platform.
