I worked at a company with a lot of creative types. As part of a business deal we were moved from outlook to lotus, and that was when all hell broke loose. It happened on such a big scale and with such critical teams that management could not be heavy handed.
Creative departments revolted and started using personal gmail account like this (first.last_company@gmail.com). And before you knew it confidential data was bleeding out of the organization.
It was a total DIY google apps. Shared folders for projects, funny photos, and everything else you might imagine.
I setup a google sheet with links to each creative teams google drive.
It was such an interesting evolution of workflow management that came from the bottom up.
It was especially interesting to see how non-technical people (designers, account people, etc) used the suite of google tools to self-organize into their own data ecosystem.
So the moral of the story here, kids, is dont use Lotus notes because the minions will revolt.
