Law Firm Replaces Exchange with GroupWise with Support of Novell Channel Partner

PROVO, UT — July 25, 2001 — For small and medium sized businesses, whose limited IT resources demand eBusiness solutions that just work, Novell net services delivered by a local channel partner provide a compelling option.

Doran, Wolfe, Rost, and Ansay
As a fast-growing law firm handling diverse client challenges, the partners at Doran, Wolfe, Rost, and Ansay were feeling the pains related to an insufficient calendar, document management and storage solution, which was hindering employee productivity, slowing document searches, and creating system instability. James Moore & Co., P.L., a Gold level partner for Novell, recommended Novell's 'Net Ready' Small Business Suite. The Novell partner replaced the error prone Outlook/Exchange system running on Windows NT with a GroupWise collaboration and document management solution running on NetWare.

"The stability and superior functionality of GroupWise sold us on it," said Mark Bates, James Moore & Co., P.L.,. "Doran, Wolfe, Rost and Ansay have had far less downtime. The server hasn't gone down since implementation-about four months."

Novell's Net services software, combined with the on-the-ground expertise and local support of Novell's channel partners, offers a compelling option for small and medium sized businesses who want to move their businesses to the Net without the security, reliability, and cost nightmares such a move can entail.
