IBM announces a better way — Notes and iNotes at 25% off
LotusIn these challenging times, customers are monitoring their IT budgets very carefully. Through this promotion, organizations have the opportunity to install or expand Lotus Notes and Domino deployments at a reduced price. This promotion is especially timely for Microsoft Exchange customers who, in Microsoft’s fiscal Q4, are facing yet another large renewal bill for laggard products like Microsoft Office and Exchange, and are looking for a better way than yet another rip-and-replace migration. It is also the IBM way of encouraging IT organizations who run earlier versions of Lotus Notes to check out all the operational cost savings available by implementing Lotus Notes and Domino 8.5 and Lotus Symphony, the IBM no-cost office productivity suite.
For IBM Business Partners, this promotion is a reason-to-call and a time-sensitive reason-for-action. Use this promotion to talk to your customers about the benefits of upgrading to Lotus Notes and Domino 8.5, including cost-saving features around data compression, attachment storage, and configuration optimization.
The promotion is a 25% discount off the regular entitled price on Lotus Notes, Lotus iNotes (formerly Domino Web Access) and Domino Express products — either new licenses or Software Subscription and Support reinstatements. The promotion is available from May 12, 2009 until August 5, 2009. The promotion is valid worldwide, except in Japan.
This is not a pre-approved special bid. It is an actual published change to the price for Notes and iNotes.
