Well a quick update as requested. Things are still up in the air, approval for a move to Exchange has not yet been requested as the paperwork explaining why this is a good idea have not been completed. An Exchange/Sharepoint pilot is planned, however the remit for the pilot does not take in our standard type of users. We have a heavily modified mail template which is critical for most users, but this is not being considered as part of the Exchange move as it is apparently being solved by another project looking at data management which at this time is still in the data gathering phase and I can’t see an equivalent solution coming out of this.
All in all it doesn’t look good, the reason why we should stick with Notes is being put to the side as simply not an issue whilst a justification for the massive expensive and disruption of a move to Exchange can’t possible be made, even if Exchange is better, it can’t be that good to make it worth while.
