Microsoft wants to steal five million Notes customers07/25/2008 08:00:16 AMLocation : Cleveland, OH
Microsoft is seeking to get five million Lotus Notes customers to make the switch to Microsoft's collaboration tools in its fiscal 2009 year, according to Kevin Turner, COO for the software giant.
“Let’s talk about replacing Lotus Notes,” said Turner during his presentation Wednesday at Microsoft’s annual meeting for financial analysts.
According to Turner, by primarily using Sharepoint, Microsoft has sold quite a few seats of their collaboration tools into IBM Lotus shops. He wants another 5 million seats sold into Lotus accounts in FY2009.
