Analyst Report

  • Novell’s collaboration technologies consist of: GroupWise 8, the new version of a well-established and popular enterprise communication and collaboration system; Novell Teaming 2 for collaborative workspaces and file sharing process automation; Novell Conferencing (version 1) for online meeting capabilities and desktop sharing; and GroupWise Instant Messenger for Peer-to-Peer (P2P) real-time communication. Novell’s technologies provide users with the means to collaborate as well as store and manage important team and project information. Many of the built-in features have been designed with productivity in mind and the workflow adds to that with automation of day-to-day processes. There is cross-platform support for Linux, Open Enterprise Server (OES), and Windows; however, there is no remote hosting capability on offer for the server side of the collaboration solutions. GroupWise remains well supported by Independent Software Vendors, with companies such as Research In Motion (BlackBerry) extending the product’s core functionality to meet a broad range of business requirements.
