http://www.conxsys.com/blog/2008/03/12/underselling-lotus-notes/ Thoughts on Conxsys, Notes/Domino, LotusScript, & Technology Sat, 21 Aug 2010 19:15:02 -0700 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 http://www.conxsys.com/blog/2008/03/12/underselling-lotus-notes/comment-page-1/#comment-8556 Corey Wed, 23 Apr 2008 16:52:29 +0000 http://www.conxsys.com/blog/2008/03/12/underselling-lotus-notes/#comment-8556 It is difficult for me to comment on this intelligently without seeing the report, and I'm not really feeling up to paying $2,500 just to read it. However, there are some interesting items that can be extrapolated out of the blurb and comments that David Ferris makes about the report (see here: http://www.ferris.com/?p=318858) . It would appear that this 10% number is based on the number of organizations that use Domino, not the percentage of seats. Given that most organizations are SMB and not enterprise, I can see how the percentage of organizations could be highly skewed in Exchange's favor. This, however, is not a good indication of true market share which, IMHO, is based on seats. After all, which is more important? Having 10% of the organizations, or 43% of the seats? Maybe there is a per-seat breakdown in the report. I don't know. If anyone out there does, please share.

To be fair about it, Radicati claims that while Microsoft pays them, the whitepapers are accurate. However, when the numbers are so blatantly skewed I do not see how that could be so.
