I found that new ClientCo uses NotesOriginally posted by Troll View PostJust popped into my work inbox
Why do companies continue to insist on working with this pile of poo?
If ever there was a piece of software whose death is long overdue I can think of no better nomination than Notes
, a real step into the dim and distant past.

Notes seems to survive in those industries where technology is not part of the end product. Manufacturing, engineering, mining and quarrying all seem to use Notes by default ( at least every client I've worked with in those areas has).
As a mail system it's pretty crap, as a shared services systems it's actually pretty good. Knock up a bespoke application or a database, drop it into the Notes system and it's available for everyone with Notes access to use. It's got some good features for collaborative working etc. The problem is most people don't bother with any of that, they just use it for email."Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife.Comment

Maybe there was something about it that appealed to geeks, guarantees longevity. Looking for a prog for my still quite useful little 2004 Win CE 5 device the other day, not a chance. On the other hand, finding software for a Psion 5 or Sinclair QL is easy.bloggoth

Not so much that but Notes is what they use for e-mail, amongst other things, so basically makes the posters comments a load of old bollocks...Originally posted by Platypus View Post

I had to write an application, for a global company, showing information to all offices worldwide, based on Notes Databases.
I still have nightmares about doing it...Comment

Well since they own it they are hardly likely to use a competing product are they.Originally posted by darmstadt View Post
I was just commenting on the fact that all the manufacturing/engineering/heavy industry clients I've worked with have used Notes and so have most of their suppliers and customers. All the technology focussed clients I've worked with have used Exchange. Your experience may differ."Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife.Comment
