Collaboration Platform Jobs Comparisons: from UK IT Jobs Watch

An update on earlier posts comparing jobs for the two leading enterprise collaboration platforms: IBM's Notes, Domino and Workplace products vs Microsoft's Sharepoint and Exchange.

Comments and caveats:

  • It's only one country, so doesn't necessarily reflect the situation outside the UK.
  • Here's an alternative view of the job market
  • The ITJobsWatch site appears to provide high quality, normalised and de-duped data, so it shouldn't be compared with keyword  job search sites in which:
    • a query for, Notes, may return jobs ".. taking notes ..." or Exchange may return jobs in a " ... stock exchange ..."
    • a single position will appear many times from different sources.

 

Application Platforms: UK Permanent and Contract IT Positions for 3 months ended Jan 16th 2008

Note: this site breaks out the MSFT products by release (Exchange2003, Exchange 2007, etc), so I added together the individual results. The Lotus releases are combined (i.e. one entry for Notes, one for Domino).

About Cliff Reeves

I was born in Sri Lanka (then it was called Ceylon) of British parents. I lived in Sri Lanka, England, and Malta before moving to the US in 1973. In the US I have lived in NC (Raleigh), TX (Dallas and Austin), MA (Boston), and WA (Kirkland). At present I roam between my family home in NC and my work home in WA I am married, with two daughters and one wife. I worked at: -- IBM -- Lotus (Lotus was IBM too … well, sort of). I am presently working in the Emerging Business Team at Microsoft. We work with start-up companies, and VCs to help them and our customers get the best out their relationship with Microsoft. I focus mostly on collaboration software, broadly defined. I plan to write -- mostly -- about software and the companies I really like. Like, that is, for any number of reasons. Maybe they do something really new, or really well, or maybe they signal a new trend. Or all of those things. I'm a Microsoft employee ... so expect both bias and insight in that respect. I worked at IBM and Lotus for a long time ... so same caveats apply.
