• Is your Lotus environment documented?
• Is it as secure as it should be? Lotus software offers far stronger security options than competitive solutions, but security is only as good as the controls you put in place.
• Is your server performing as well as it could? Do you know where the bottlenecks are?
• Would you be better off with a centralized or decentralized architecture? Is there an opportunity to reduce costs through server consolidation?
• Are you ready to perform that upgrade or add on that new product?
• Are you taking advantage of all the features you could be?
• Are there critical fix packs you should install? Is a major version upgrade justified based on your needs.
• Should you consider changing server operating systems?
• Could your system administrators benefit from learning best practices specific to your environment by working hands-on with an expert consultant.


These are the types of questions that we can answer and provide expert advice on with a comprehensive infrastructure assessment. You not only get the benefit of having your environment evaluated and documented by a true expert in Lotus software, but you also receive hands-on best practices knowledge about how to implement and maintain the recommended changes.

Lotus 911 can provide complete outsourced administration of your Lotus environment for less than half the cost of your current system administrators, freeing them up to perform other business critical tasks. We can even move your environment to our fully-redundant, state-of-the-art data center and monitor performance 24 x 7 x 365 to ensure that you benefit from maximum uptime with none of the burden.

Because of our status as a Premier IBM Business Partner, we are authorized to sell and renew IBM and Lotus software licenses for significant discounts even beyond the supposed clearing house software vendors. We can beat any price. If you are buying your IBM/Lotus licenses anywhere else, you are paying too much. It's that simple. In addition, many organizations are purchasing licenses that they don't actually need, or worse, are not licensing what they should. Contact us to find out how to not only ensure that you are licensing the software most effectively, but not paying more than you should.

Pressure to migrate to a competitive platform can come from a variety of sources: executive leadership, line-of-business management, end users, customers, business partners, and sometimes just slick software sales people. The truth is that migrating away from Lotus is typically not financially justified if evaluated objectively. Lotus software is the strongest collaboration & communications solution in the world and when properly leveraged, it costs lower than the competition. Factors such as poorly designed applications, lack of end user or support staff training, not taking advantage of the latest product features, inefficient server configuration, ineffective security policies, over-licensing the software, or simply not understanding how to better leverage the investments you have already made are all common causes of the case for migration, but are far more easily corrected than migrating to a different platform. Lotus 911 will meet with your executive team to listen to the reasons you may be considering a migration and at the very least help you understand the alternatives.
