The mid size company I worked for used Lotus Notes extensively. Want something worse? We moved to Oracle. Notes then had to serve as a patch for the things that didn’t work in Oracle. In comparison, Notes was a blessing.
At least Oracle moved on to another triumph in Oregon with the health insurance portal. LOL.
Never tangled with Oracle and it must be awful to make Notes look good.
The Notes calls I get on the laptops either take a few minutes to fix or the installation and patch has to be blown away a couple of times and reinstalled if the fixes I’ve learned the hard way don’t work.
90% of everyone else uses Notes in Citrix and is a very straight forward setup.
My main notes headache is one of my remote users with a laptop less than a year old. Notes takes about 20 minutes or so to load up last I heard from him. It did it before. I did the uninstall/reinstall thing since the guy was around only a couple of hours.
Even with the cheat sheet, I could not see this person installing notes again in another part of the country.
My company uses Oracle for some functions. Most of what I deal with, as far as manufacturing is concerned, is done in GEMS.
Just saw an article today that Oregon expects its first exchange enrollee by the end of the week (probably won't happen).
