IBM don't publish many figures when it comes to Notes/Domino, licences, seats, etc ... but here is a number I can publish:4500+ IBM Notes/Domino customers REINSTATED their licences in 2013!
What is a reinstatement? It results from a customer letting their Notes/Domino renewal lapse - which in my experience has meant that they are actively looking at options other than Notes/Domino for their messaging, collaboration and application requirements - who subsequently decide that they WANT the capabilities offered by the latest releases of Notes/Domino and choose the REINSTATE their licences to take advantage of those features.
In my 5 months at IBM (has it been that long?) I've been pleased to deal with so many customers who have seen the value proposition that IBM Notes and Domino - in conjunction with their myriad of entitlements - bring to their organisation, and they are often blown away at the capabilities that this powerful application suite offers them.
We've even had some OUTSTANDING competitive wins in the last few months (look out for the references soon) from customers who have CHOSEN to deploy Notes/Domino for the first time, particularly satisfying when our competition often declare "Notes is Dead", or even more laughable ... "legacy".
2013 has been a great year. I'm looking forward to 2014 being an even better one.
