Can IBM Take On Google, Microsoft With iNotes?

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Friday October 2, 2009 @07:25AM from the better-late-than-never-i-guess dept.

CWmike writes to mention that IBM has launched LotusLive iNotes, a system designed to compete with GMail and Exchange that offers email, calendaring, and contact management. "Pricing starts at $3 per user per month, undercutting Google Apps Premier Edition, which costs $50 per user per year. IBM is aiming the software at large enterprises that want to migrate an on-premise e-mail system to SaaS (software as a service), particularly for users who aren't tied to a desk, such as retail workers. It is also hoping to win business from smaller companies interested in on-demand software but with concerns about security and service outages, such as those suffered by Gmail in recent months. LotusLive iNotes is based on technology IBM purchased from the Hong Kong company Outblaze."

The cloud has revolutionized dead nigger storage in many ways.
Now instead of driving around looking for the sign, you can just start a garage instance on the cloud and upload your dead niggers.

Beating Microsoft products on usability is not exactly a tough achievement. Personally I'd rather use post-it notes than Outlook.
