This paper reports on a fruitful combination of applying academic experience with formal modelling and verification techniques to an industrial case study. The goal was to investigate a priori, i.e. before implementation, the effects of adding a lightweight and easy-to-use publish/subscribe (event) notification service to thinkteam - an asynchronous and dispersed groupware system which was developed by think3. Researchers from the Formal Methods and Tools (FM&&T) group of ISTI - CNR teamed up with think3. The technical details of this joint research effort have been documented elsewhere, here the paper reports on the lessons learned from this experience.
