iNotes adds Web-based calendaring and e-mail to the roster, services previously only available through the Lotus Notes service, which starts at $9 per month. The service also includes a gigabyte of storage, with more available as an option. At $36 per user per year, iNotes comes in significantly cheaper than Google Apps Premium Edition, Google's business-oriented hosted application suite, which costs $50 per user per year. It's also significantly less functional, since in addition to calendaring and e-mail, Google Apps includes Google Talk and Google Docs & Spreadsheets, in addition to 10 GB of storage per user. The IBM offering also competes with Microsoft's Exchange Online Deskless Worker service, which provides e-mail and calendaring for $2 per user per month but only 500 MB of storage; and standard Exchange Online, which provides 5 GB of storage and a 25GB mailbox but costs $10 per user per year. IBM, of course, has plenty of experience selling into the business services market. |
