Met the need for swift communication instead of prescribing a product. The Associated Press’s e-mail systems grew haphazardly with a series of trendy products. Recognized a solution when it presented itself, embraced Internet protocols, cut potential expenditures by several millions, and satisfied the end-users.Supported the electronic mail needs of the news cooperative through transition across several platforms while the cooperative was in the midst of replacing Intel 80286-based DOS desktops and DEC VMS terminals with Windows 95; DEC VAXen with Alpha; and NetWare and OS/2 with Windows NT 4.0. Worked with Lotus Notes, Lotus Domino, Lotus cc:Mail, DEC Mail-11, DEC VMSmail, PMDF, and sendmail, eventually consolidating on the SMTP, POP3, IMAP4, and LDAP protocols rather a particular product.
