Personal Productivity

End users can count on secure, reliable communications, and IT can reduce time spent on routine e-mail maintenance. This leads to greater organizational efficiency and an enhanced ability to service customers, produce products and generate business success.

Can't Innovate or Deliver on Business Imperatives?

E-mail viruses and downtime often leave users without connection to critical colleagues and information, and, in many organizations, overburdened IT teams spend too much time on e-mail security patches and maintenance. As a result, business opportunities are lost, users aren't fully productive and IT can't pursue strategic initiatives.

Novell GroupWise customers experience 69% less unplanned downtime than Microsoft Exchange customers.

Personal Productivity Capabilities

Industry-leading security and reliability—together with innovative communication, calendaring and mobile synchronization capabilities—boost personal productivity. Ease of management and low administrator-to-user ratios reduce administrative burdens, and enable IT to focus on proactive, strategic initiatives.

Enhanced User and IT Productivity

Novell GroupWise® offers the strongest security and reliability track record in the collaboration market. It also includes productivity-enhancing features like the home view, multiple calendars and interoperability with the client platforms, applications and mobile devices users want. And no collaboration solution offers more simplified administration to reduce hardware and staffing requirements.

With cross-platform solutions that leverage open standards, you can increase flexibility and open the door to Linux and open source software. This results in better communication with peers using disparate systems, higher user satisfaction and service rates, and significant savings on software deployment, helpdesk calls, upgrade and maintenance costs.

Too many organizations are locked into proprietary e-mail and calendaring stacks with inflexible licensing programs. This means they have difficulty interoperating with other systems and honoring end user preferences for mobile devices and other personal productivity tools. In addition, they often incur significant expense to upgrade or migrate to equivalent Microsoft systems, and they lack the agility to leverage Linux and open standards.

Microsoft Exchange requires a Windows-centric infrastructure. Novell GroupWise runs on multiple server, client and mobile device operating systems.

Personal Productivity Capabilities

Cross-platform support at the server, client and device level preserves IT flexibility and user choice. Support for Linux and open standards helps organizations cut costs, improve collaboration within and beyond organizational boundaries, and open the door to a broad mix of complementary solutions.

Industry-leading Choice and Flexibility

Novell GroupWise runs on a wide mix of operating system platforms (Linux, Novell Open Enterprise Server, Windows and NetWare®) and clients (Linux, Windows, Mac, Web browsers and Microsoft Outlook). In addition, Novell GroupWise Mobile Server securely connects GroupWise to hundreds of mobile devices running today's popular mobile operating systems. When combined with Novell's commitment to open standards and interoperability, it's clear that no other solution provides you a greater degree of IT choice and flexibility.
