Fujitsu buys French firm

Google Apps

RunMyProcess, a relatively new start-up firm based in France has been bought by the electronics giant Fujitsu. The French company offers cloud-based solutions to its customers, helping them to integrate their own IT systems with web-based options such as Google Apps.

Number of businesses switching from Lotus Notes on the increase

Google Apps

Despite trying to offer a number of facilities for Lotus Notes, experts say that the numbers of businesses leaving IBM and switching to other providers such as Google Apps is growing daily. IBM did try to rename the product as IBM Notes but even this re-branding has failed to stem the tide. While this is [...]

IBM still believes Lotus Notes has something to offer

cloud computing

IBM is perhaps one of the oldest and most well respected computing companies, but over the last few years this reputation has been dissipating as far as I am concerned. Rather than admit that it lost the plot over Lotus Notes the company is still trying to encourage people that this particular product is worth [...]

Lotus Notes has been around for a long time now, but I’m surprised at the number of businesses still using the product despite being frustrated with it.

Now Gartner believes it’s time to switch

Google Apps

Lotus Notes has been a popular product for many years, which is why IBM was prompted to buy it. However, time has moved on, and unfortunately Lotus Notes (despite trying valiantly to hang on to its past successes) has not moved on with it. Even the well-known research analysts – Gartner – are now recommending [...]

Google Apps

While more and more firms, large and small, are switching to Google Apps for Business, it still appears that others are trying to continue with Lotus Notes. While I have to admire the confidence in the Lotus Notes believers, I can’t help wondering how long it will last. One of the problems that I have [...]
