– 2 servers and 1.8 Terabytes of disk space
● Further savings are recognized via:
– Less data to backup and store
– Less network traffic
– Less administration required

"Lotus Foundations is a complete, cost-effective solution that easily scales as a business grows. When you add users, you know exactly what it will cost and the functionality you'll get," said Bernie Leung of Mesa Technology. "With Microsoft SBS, you always have to worry about what additional licenses you will have to purchase -- the SQL client is just one example."

Lotus Notes & Domino Case StudyKentucky Baptist Convention
Overview
In 2008 when IBM Lotus Notes and Domino 8 software became available, KBC saw opportunities to enhance its existing systems and processes. Roughly one-third of the organization operates remotely, making offsite data access crucial for business operation.
Business Need
Migrate to a messaging platform with broader functionality to increase efficiency and better support mobile users.
Solution
IBM Lotus Notes® and Lotus® Domino® software with integrated IBM Lotus Sametime® functionality provides messaging and calendaring, instant messaging, a rapid application development environment, support for mobile users and a platform for the organization’s Web site
Benefits
Drives down costs with an all-in-one solution and backwards compatibility with prior applicationsSpeeds the creation of new business applications while lowering costs
Improves communication by strengthening e-mail and instant messaging support for hand-held devices
Eliminates the need to purchase additional Web development software
“The big benefit of the Lotus Notes and Domino
platform is all the things that we can do with one
system. If you took Lotus Notes away and we had to
use something else, we would probably have to buy
eight different products and combine them to do all
the things that we do with Lotus Notes and
Domino.”- Troy Fulkerson, Director of Information Technology, Kentucky Baptist Convention
Lotus Notes & Domino Case StudySuntel Ltd
Overview
Suntel started operations in December 1996 and is the third largest telecom company in Sri Lanka with over 550,000 customers. The fastest growing telecom company in Sri Lanka, Suntel has an all-digital network that connects thousands of residential customers and businesses ranging from corner shops to the biggest corporate names in the country.
Business Need
Suntel required an integrated, robust, scalable, reliable mail messaging system that would enable the company to evolve as a fully collaborative organization. The existing mail server solution on Microsoft Exchange did not allow for effective collaboration and had a high cost of ownership.
Solution
Suntel chose IBM® Lotus Notes® and Lotus® Domino®, Lotus Sametime®, and Lotus Symphony™ to replace its existing solution based on Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft Office.
Benefits
Reduced software licensing costs by about 50%; gave Suntel a far more scalable, flexible and reliable solution; with Lotus Symphony, Suntel was no longer reliant on proprietary formats for office documents
