Next-generation collaboration tools can improve workforce productivity, but how do you integrate them without increasing costs, complexity and risk? And as collaboration output rises, how do you keep the explosive growth of data under control?
Novell addresses these challenges with unique solutions that help people work better together and bring intelligence management of all the information that people create, share and store.
Our Collaboration Solution Capabilities
Personal and Team Productivity
Real-time and social collaboration tools enable the new interactions required in today's business environments. The personal and team productivity capabilities inherent to Novell Collaboration solutions enable the new interactions that your people need to drive business innovation and growth. With a strong focus on interoperability, these solutions integrate with existing environments and deploy easily without requiring a rip and replace approach.
With our next generation collaboration tools, you can:
- Boost personal productivity with a truly plugged-in work environment for managing e-mails, tasks, calendars and contacts. Users can create customized dashboards and easily access the tools and information they need to be productive, in any role.
- Optimize your collaboration processes with team workspaces that boost efficiency and preserve corporate knowledge. Using advanced social tools and integrated workflow automation, you can take collaboration beyond e-mail to support the organic processes that your teams need to interact effectively, leverage knowledge and skills, and retain intellectual assets.
- Reduce travel costs and latency with Web conferencing that enables your people to meet virtually, across the globe or across the hallway. Using rich-media Web conferencing, anyone can deliver live presentations, whiteboards and Web pages and share their voice and video over the Internet, or across the corporate network.
- Break down barriers to innovation with real-time communication, authoring and social messaging. People continents apart can work together in real-time, sharing and co-browsing information or creating or editing a document. Individuals can also manage content overload by choosing people and topics to follow and stashing files, both native and office type, along with their related groups and conversations.
Collaboration Data Management
As collaboration flourishes, the creation of collaboration data flourishes too. The explosive growth of unstructured collaborative data creates challenges for both end users and IT. For users, it creates a problem of information overload and fragmentation that negatively impacts productivity. They constantly have to switch between applications and devices to get the information they need, and manually keep their data up-to-date and in sync. For IT, it produces file system chaos as the proliferation of data goes unchecked. While some organizations address the problem by simply buying more disk storage, such an approach increases storage management costs and complexity, while also increasing the costs for storage hardware, power and cooling.
Keep your collaborative data in sync
Novell addresses this end-user issue by seamlessly connecting and synchronizing disparate collaboration software, business critical applications and mobile devices. It enables you to tie together your diverse silos of information, allowing your different systems to share and act on relevant information in a way that enables your users to be more productive and more efficiently utilize the information at their disposal.
Manage the explosive data growth
To help organizations address the explosive growth of unstructured collaborative data that IT has to deal with, Novell has merged its file storage expertise with market-leading Novell identity technologies to create the most advanced, business-oriented file management solution available today. It provisions, optimizes and reports on file storage based on user roles and customized business policies. It enables you to better track and understand data growth, allocate and manage resources based on its relevance and value to the business, save money in the administration and procurement of resources, and unlock the hidden value in your collaborative data.
