Forrester Research’s Ted Schadler and Jon Erickson spoke with numerous Lotus customers who had completed the upgrade, and calculated the economic benefits in aggregate. The result: An astounding 147% ROI for upgrading to Notes/Domino 8.5, with a payback period of only one year.
This is a fantastic point here. The new features of Domino in the latest release are quite significant. DAOS alone can save you 47% of your storage space while still providing brick level back up and recovery. Try doing that on Microsoft Exchange!
Small correction. It's DAOS (Domino Attachment and object Service)not DAMO that saves the storage space. Other than that – excellent post.
