Gartner: IBM led the e-mail and collaboration market in 2003 (We’re #1!!!)

July 28 2004

Not to be overlooked in the previous article....

Gartner recently reported that IBM led the worldwide e-mail and collaboration market in 2003 with 46% market share, over Microsoft's 44.2%. While North America remains Microsoft's stronghold, it trails IBM in the other regions, including the Asia-Pacific where its share was 33% to IBM's 58.1%. Oracle, Sun, and Novell have less than 2.5% share each.

    Well, I seem to remember it being about $4 billion, right? :)

    Now that has serious potential to be an Exchange killer. But, given the infrsatructure and expertise needed to support it, it really should be made available as a hosted offering.

    This study does not really suprise me at all. Now that Linux is taking hold, it's a good catalyst for Notes & Workplace.
