Nigel Fortlage´s Weblog: What´s the importance of an instance?

JamesGovernor alerted me to thiscase study of a customer migrating from using ICQ for business instantmessaging over to Lotus Sametime running on iSeries:Firstthing most users are saying the interface is very MSN Messenger Like sothey are adopting it without training or question. I am shocked...Best corporate win, further simplification of IT environment by leveragingexisting technologies to do 1 more thing, while adding corporate compliancewith an enterprise level, server side, IM offering...Ok it doesn't roll of the tongue... This is the very first time we have taken an application run off a Linuxmachine and move it to a commercial offering. I see this as an evolutionof a mature offering that made sense to play with and use in an open sourcespace, but in addressing our desire to simplify, we leveraged an existinginvestment in technology to move us forward.Link:Nigel Fortlage's Weblog: What's the importance of an instance?>
