@lotus evangelist With an existing investment in Notes, an organization can deploy templates, OpenNTF applications, or hire a developer from a small shop to to do a custom application. All of these can be relatively inexpensive and could yield some nice productivity improvements.

One of the easiest demonstrations of Notes' value comes from rolling out useful applications. To this end, I just compiled a list of the "Best Notes Templates for Newbies" here: http://www.lotusguru.com/lotusguru/LGBlog.nsf/d6plinks/20081015-7KFMC6

I also blogged last year (http://www.lotusguru.com/lotusguru/LGBlog.nsf/SearchResults?OpenNavigator&Query=economic) about how I foresaw big opportunities to make the case for Notes' value because of economic belt-tightening.

Seems I'm not the only one to see things that way :-).
