A quandary and a shame

QuickImage Category Bad things
Im at a leaving do and talking to old colleges, they are full of how bad a migration from notes x to notes 8 is going, and how the users are complaining and people higher up are talking about the "Ex*****e" word

Now IT people bitch all the time (i do it my self) but this did indeed sound very bad (20+ server crashes a week and 1000+ helpdesk calls), Id like to help, Id like to tell someone at Lotus so they can try and step in and offer assistance to prevent the evil outlook taking control, but quite frankly IBM already know (they were part of the initial migration), and I've seen this sort of thing happen so often that now i just give another shrug and think "another notes site lost".

a pity, a pity

Gravatar Image1 - Mark, maybe 'IBM' know but do the RIGHT people know? Can you e-mail me some details and I'll make sure someone who can do something gets involved. Thanks...

Gravatar Image2 - lets hope so (sent you a skype request)

Gravatar Image3 - Just curious - what versions of N/D are involved?

Gravatar Image4 - was mainly coming from 5 (as i remeber) to 8.x

Gravatar Image5 - well going from Notes 5 to Notes 8 says more about the organization than it does about IBM.

If you dont keep up with versions....you are really digging yourself a hole

Gravatar Image6 - I could not agree more, and it does seem that politics has played its part,

Unfortunately user perception seldom seems to side with notes "I use outlook at home and have never had this much trouble" "you'd think a corporation would be able to get it right with their huge budget" "my previous company used exchange and it worked just fine" etc etc

Gravatar Image7 - While I have the utmost faith in Darren, I am available as well to assist having recently moved some people from R5 and R6 to R8 and R8.5 (now 851).
No shortage of good people in the UK, but sometimes you need a different view point.

Gravatar Image8 - Emoticon cool

Gravatar Image9 - @Mark - Im sure that Gab or I / Warren would be more then happy to help out. Either behind the scenes or onsite. Not sure if that matters to you in this case.

Gravatar Image10 - i wish it did, but alas i am just a contractor who worked there years ago, and nearly all the people i knew there have left now Emoticon
