Outlook and Lotus Notes both work well when you don't have to  
interoperate with people who aren't using your platform of choice. The  
greatest appeal to most businesses about using Outlook is that Word  
and Excel are "integrated" with that suite so you can just send the  
latest copy of your Word document via email (without worrying about  
having it proof read by PR, fact checked by the engineering  
department, and with no concerns about version control or distribution  
management).

Just ask the folks at Centrelink about how interoperable a Lotus Notes  
organisation is with a Microsoft Office organisation.

Calendaring is offered by a number of alternatives. Just check the  
Wikipedia page on open calendaring clients:
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_applications_with_iCalendar_support

Hope this helps someone.
Alex
