Microsoft Exchange Bests IBM Domino/Notes In 1st Half '98 By Mark Boslet 09/29/98 Dow Jones News Service (Copyright (c) 1998, Dow Jones & Company, Inc.) PALO ALTO, Calif. (Dow Jones)--Microsoft Corp.'s (MSFT) Exchange outsold International Business Machine Corp.'s (IBM) Domino and Notes groupware for the first time during the first half of 1998, independent research shows. Exchange attracted 5.7 million new users worldwide during the first six months of the year, compared with 5.3 million for the Domino server and Notes client combination, according to International Data Corp. Still, Domino and Notes maintain a larger market share, with 21.9 million users as of June, compared with 15 million for Microsoft Exchange. Novell Inc.'s (NOVL) GroupWise has 12.4 million and Netscape Communications Corp.'s (NSCP) SuiteSpot groupware has 5.2 million users, International Data Corp. said. Groupware allows users to exchange data and collaborate using computers. Microsoft's bundling of Exchange with its BackOffice suite of software spurred growth, International Data Corp. said. The research, which predicted an era of increased competition in the market, attempted to count software licenses that are actually being used rather than products shipped but not being used. Companies typically report products shipped. IBM spokesman Ken Bisconti said he sees Microsoft and IBM, which he described as building momentum in the product category, pulling away from the rest of the market. He also said IBM claims to have shipped 25 million sets of the software. -By Mark Boslet; 650-496-1366
