We have already implemented our ERP solution, it’s an NT based system using MS SQL server. Our North American WAN is pure NT in terms of our servers.
We have been directed by our international parent company that we must move our email system toLotus Notes. They want us to host this on an AS/400e system.
What we would like to do is make the case that it would be better for us to host Notes/Domino on a series of less expensive NT/W2K servers.
None of our North American IT staff has an experience or training in the use of AS/400’s that could be considered current (some of us have training but it’s 5 years old on older versions of OS/400).
What technical arguments (especially any having to do with integrating the AS/400e into our ERP using MS SQL server) could we make to justify our hosting our Notes servers on a group of NT boxes instead of the AS/400?
