Business collaboration knows no bounds. Your people must be able to share ideas, critical business information and perspectives with virtually anyone—anytime, anywhere. And while there are more ways to collaborate than ever before, there are also more ways for unwelcome parties to interrupt the process.

Fortunately, there's Novell® GroupWise® 7. This premier multiplatform business collaboration solution helps your organization maintain secure, authenticated communications within your enterprise as well as with companies and individuals beyond your firewall. GroupWise 7 works across traditional, Web-based and wireless clients, providing users with integrated e-mail, instant messaging and scheduling, as well as task, contact and document management. Equally important, its rich security capabilities and proven reliability provide peace of mind for your IT staff, making GroupWise the leading alternative to Microsoft Exchange.

A Secure Business Collaboration Solution that Saves Time and Money

GroupWise 7 delivers secure communication and collaboration. Such security is vital in a business collaboration solution, since malicious virus attacks, typically initiated through e-mail, can bring productivity to a grinding halt. GroupWise provides tight integration with leading anti-virus and anti-spam solutions. Working with partner products, it detects and eliminates viruses that might hamper productivity and impair business operations. In addition, GroupWise support major security standards and leverages multiple levels of spam control, increasing administrator confidence and reducing your overall business costs.

Reliable Business Collaboration that Requires Less Administrative Effort

GroupWise 7 is based on a proven, highly reliable architecture that minimizes downtime. Without a reliable business collaboration system, your business faces serious risks of lost productivity, customer loyalty and business opportunity. There's also a very real potential for legal consequences posed by a loss of intellectual property or non-compliance with regulatory mandates.

That's why GroupWise is an essential part of your enterprise. In a February 2005 reliability study of GroupWise customers, 52 percent said they haven't had to reboot their GroupWise system for more than six months, and 87 percent have experienced less than ten hours of unplanned downtime per year. Much of this reliability is attributable to superior technical engineering and extensive testing, which results in GroupWise requiring fewer patches than Exchange does. Linux clustering support also adds to the unprecedented reliability of GroupWise. Companies that require exceptional availability and reliability—organizations like government agencies and industry leaders in healthcare, airlines, financial services and banking—choose GroupWise as their collaboration solution.

The Number-one Alternative to Microsoft Exchange

GroupWise users value their business collaboration solution for its integrity, reliability and scalability. Perhaps that's why it's the leading alternative to Microsoft Exchange. Microsoft Exchange users are well aware of the ongoing challenges involved with keeping their systems secure and available. Unfortunately, moving to the current version of Exchange also requires a costly, laborious and disruptive upgrade to Microsoft Active Directory.

Compared to Microsoft Exchange, GroupWise

  • Handles a load capacity up to 200 times greater, reducing your hardware-acquisition and management costs
  • Offers a licensing model that is more flexible—and more affordable (The GroupWise cost per user is one-third that of Exchange.)
  • Has 69 percent less downtime than Microsoft Exchange
  • Offers 72 times fewer vulnerabilities, as cited by CERT.org
