Lotus Notes

Okay Exchange and Notes admins, do you want to know HOW our government lost their own emails?

By laughing in the face of basic best practices.

During the Clinton Administration, a lot of thought was put into constructing a solid mail system, with Lotus Notes, where everything is tracked, backed up, and archived appropriately.

Fast-forward into the current Bush Administration. Notes was starting to look a bit dated. If you are familiar with the system, it looks a bit like CompuServe, circa 1992. The desire for change was there, and they got it. But boy was it poorly executed.
