I probably still wouldn't suggest outlook though - my money would be on the Google suite of applications.<br /><br />I'd consider Google because for almost no spend you get a cross-platform system that runs on all internet-capable devices and provides instant "remote access" and "mobile access" without an infrastructure spend. Furthermore, the system runs well even on quite old devices.<br /><br />Microsoft's sharepoint is an interesting system which attempts to duplicate some of the features found in domino but sadly, the majority of the high-end features are missing and the product is much more difficult to setup and maintain. <br /><br />Of course, this really doesn't matter in a new business because often you're not aware of how your software is constraining your business.Gavin Bollardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13833941398375568706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17199472.post-84260710581893957702009-08-16T02:15:18.939+10:002009-08-16T02:15:18.939+10:00Domino seems like an interesting platform.

I guess this is because of the large feature set. Your right if you aren't going to use the power of the databases then you are better off with an using Outlook on the front end. <br /><br />I would assume that more people are familiar with Microsoft Office products and would not use the power of the database. Sharepoint is also could be an interesting competitor to the Notes database as everything in the Sharepoint data store is indexed. <br /><br />Working with different technology I believe is the only way to make an educated decision on which platform is the best for a particular organization.Kinohttp://www.thinksmartsolutions.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17199472.post-10447346646487877772009-08-12T07:40:36.459+10:002009-08-12T07:40:36.459+10:00Given that I've never had formal development t...Given that I've never had formal development training and that I'm generally more admin than development, I'd always assumed that the movie database wouldn't be good enough for distribution. I might clean it up and make the template available at some point though.Gavin Bollardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13833941398375568706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17199472.post-88076618128864480342009-08-11T23:06:01.506+10:002009-08-11T23:06:01.506+10:00Nice points.
