When you press CTRL-F on your inbox it brings up a "find" box, but that only searches the subject line and sender name (whatever you can see on the inbox screen). The actual search feature is hidden within a couple tiers of menubar, but it is there and it works very well. Even for attachments!

What it boils down to is that the UI is highly unintuitive and it has a very steep learning curve, especially for non-techie people.

And the network compression -- why isn't that just enabled by default by our IT people? At least they usually create a local replica..

All in all, this is a good guide but provides ZERO information about how to actually do any of these things. I spent 5 minutes google searching how to turn on network compression... But thanks for the guide, it's still useful.]]>

A workshop participant proudly explained to me how he had shut down the use of IM, Twitter, Facebook and other 'time-wasting' applications on his company's network and company-issued cell-phones.

I shared with him how he could harness those applications to improve external and internal communications, rather than view them as 'time-wasting'. He said:

"I don't want my people being productive in ways I don't understand."

We use Blackberry, WMDs, Android, and iPhone backended with mSuite, BES, and Traveler. Whilst these are company-supplied devices we place no restrictions on installing apps, on the understanding that they are not supported and that the users pay for them themselves. We do not allow non-company-supplied devices to connect to our network.

The policy decision was made based on the fact we also allow personal use of the smartphones for calls/SMS and given the relatively senior profile of the users we felt it was unfair/impractical to ask them to carry two devices. When they get their device they are told to back it up/transfer purchases regularly due to our remote kill capability.]]>

And, since you do work for a rather large organization :-) are there different policies for iPhone/iPad and Android or is it the same for all? Thanks for your comments!]]>

We pay for our smart devices ourselves. If IT would try to lock down privately owned equipment the forks and torches would come out. However we do have a security standard in place that is the prerequisite to access the corporate network (local data encryption, password strength and frequency of password changes as well as remote wipe capability). We do have people you can consult about applications.]]>

So if I assume this is true there is little need for any change and neither Ed Brill nor Kevin Cavanaugh have to confirm anything.

If the vendor says there is no problem why is it that people still assume that change is needed!?

Apps are an important part of Lotus Notes and Domino but at first IBM would need to bring more value to the core product. With that I mean update all included templates and maybe also add some more. If you have a solid foundation you could very well extend it with an app store.

If the basic package is already powerful people will be tempted to add more value to this platform. If the basic package is of low functionality you could take any other platform too.

I currently see Microsoft being very successful here with their Dynamics package. If you own CRM and ERP and add Collaboration you are sitting in the core of a company.]]>
