Businesses are find great value in either using LotusNotes/Domino or Outlook/Exchange as their communications platforms. Maybe Colleges/Universities use best-of-breed products instead of these groupware packages as they fear the proprietary environment.

Have others moved from a POP3 and independent calendar management to a groupware product? Have support and support costs changed? Was the transition difficult? Were users and management pleased? Would you do it again?

We will be moving from POP3 to GroupWise soon. I expect support costs will go up at the begining. Especially with the initial training. Support costs should go down after a time since this new system is more reliable. I also expect users and management to be pleased if for no other reason than they will be gaining the capability of checking email from any Internet connection.

Given the poor trade-press on GroupWise I'm surprised by your move. The failing product has a replacement called BulletProof which will either make or break the company.

LotusNotes and Outlook are the two major contenders in the field with Outlook/Exchange coming up from the rear with Exchange 2000's increased perforance, reliability, capability and integration with Office 2000 products.
