Re: Domino Server Registration

Matt,

I'm a bit lost here. All you use Lotus Notes for is mail and you have 
no in-house Lotus Notes expertise so you want someone else to host. I 
get that. Using Lotus Notes/Domino just for mail is the proverbial "I 
only drive my Ferrari to the grocery store". But you now need apps. 
As a result of this, you're moving to Google Apps. Wait, what?

Who is going to write your apps using Google Apps? It's not likely 
your in-house guys have a ton of Google Apps experience. Couldn't you 
have just gotten them Notes Dev/Admin training? Of course you could 
hire an experienced Google Apps guy. But for the same money you 
couldn't you have hired a Notes dev/admin and kept your mail on the 
AS/400. You're going from 24x7 uptime to this:

Any insight you have on this would be great.
