Survey: why is your organization not investing in Notes infrastructure or application development?

When I speak to Lotus Notes administrators about ReduceMail Pro, I often hear that their organization is not investing in Notes infrastructure or application development. That may mean their organization is happy to continue using Lotus Notes the way they have it, or it may mean their organization is planning to migrate away from Notes. There could actually be many reasons why an organization would stop investing in Notes, and I am interested in what those reasons are. I therefore pose a question to the Lotus Notes community: why is your organization not investing in Notes infrastructure or application development?

If your organization does plan on using Lotus Notes into the future, I think there is always reason to invest in infrastructure, particularly by acquiring solutions like ReduceMail Pro, which generate ROI. It seems that many companies have unwisely cut off Lotus Notes infrastructure investment and that this has been to the disappointment of many administrators whose work could benefit from mail management solutions. On the other hand, ignoring application development might make sense at the moment with IBM refusing to support a full Notes client for the iPad and other mobile devices. I’m nostalgic for the days when big consulting companies used to have tens of thousands of Lotus Notes applications, but those days seem to be fading.

I can only know so much as an IBM business partner. I want to know firsthand from the Lotus Notes professional community what is happening. Once again: why is your organization not investing in Notes infrastructure or application development?
