PROVO, Utah — June 08, 2001 — Novell, Inc., the leading provider of Net services software, today announced a NetWare Upgrade Protection Bundle that offers increased revenue opportunities for channel partners and substantial cost savings for customers planning a NetWare upgrade.
Beginning June 12, the NetWare Upgrade Protection Bundle will provide customers an upgrade to NetWare 5.1 as well as significant savings on upgrade protection coverage. The promotion offers nearly 50 percent off the price of a two-year upgrade protection term. Upgrade protection reduces the cost of software ownership and assures customers that they can always have the latest releases of NetWare for the duration of the contract term.
For channel partners, the NetWare Upgrade Protection Bundle offers a new revenue stream and an immediate reason to engage customers interested in upgrading to current or upcoming releases of NetWare. Similar bundle offers have been very successful for partners in the past. With the cost savings and shorter sales cycles afforded by Upgrade Protection, partners can focus on building long-term, services-based relationships with customers.
