Network World on hosted Notes: License not Included
Tags :Domino 8 hosting
The new Network World magazine just landed on my desk today (digitally and in print) and has an article by John Fontana as usual on Lotus technologies. The article is on the announcement of hosted Lotus Notes by IBM. But one thing stood out that suddenly adds a new wrinkle to the announcement (the Cavanaugh is Kevin, vice president of messaging and collaboration software for IBM):
IBM will have two models, the first catering to users who already have Notes and Domino licenses, Cavanaugh says. In that model, IBM will sell Lotus Notes Hosted Messaging and let users apply their licenses to the service. In the second model, "if you don't have the licenses, we will sell you those and the services," he says.
So at a starting point, from the article, of $10 per user/month for 1,000 users starting point, I am seeing $10,000/month for hosted Lotus Notes with no licenses provided. I suddenly feel better.
Give me a ring or email to talk about pricing and scalability options.
