Hello,

I have written a system in VB / SQL server for my company. I work for the Europe division. The parent US company wants a single application rolled out globally to all divisions (US, Europe and Asia).

We are lobbying that our system is the one which is rolled out. HOWEVER, the US seems to like the idea of developing the same application using Lotus Notes. This is because it is already a company standard application and no extra licences would have to be bought unlike running a VB / SQL application.

We have to convince the US that developing in Notes is a bad idea and that our application would be a more viable option.

In a way I need to hype up our application and produce reasons against Lotus Notes development. This is where I need your help.

I need some hard reasons against Notes. Such as scalability of the database, security, development speed etc.

If anyone has any credible reasons not to use Notes, please post. Even if you only have one reason, post it so I can complie them.

Thankyou!
