According to CNET’s News.com website, IBM is expected to announce thursday at major win at Panasonic, replacing 100,000 seats of Exchange accounts which have been migrated to Lotus Live cloud solution:

This is significant not just for the scale but also because a large, conservative company like Panasonic is moving full-on into the cloud. It’s also important because this deployment replaces Microsoft Exchange and furthers IBM’s leadership role in enterprise-targeted cloud services.

Also impressive are the number of Lotus Live accounts in production:

Poulley told me that Panasonic looked at a number of ways to address its needs, but that ultimately the IBM reputation as a trusted enterprise partner played a big part in the deal. And with 18 million LotusLive accounts already active, IBM can prove that its services are ready for prime time.
