Novell

Novell GroupWise is the premier collaboration solution for the enterprise. Administrators can rest well knowing GroupWise is safe, secure and always running. GroupWise provides an effective and innovative approach to collaboration services, an approach that delivers security, control and mobility, while reducing the cost of managing and maintaining essential communication and collaboration services. The server runs on Novell Open Enterprise Server, NetWare, Windows and Linux. The clients that enable user productivity for GroupWise run on Windows, Linux, Mac or the web.

With GroupWise, you can embrace the Net knowing that you are protected by field proven security. So you can maintain secure, authenticated communications, including instant messaging, within your organisation as well as with organisations and individuals outside your firewall.

GroupWise also 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. Multiple levels of spam control restrict unsolicited bulk e-mail, so productivity isn’t impacted by email overload.

Built-in redundancy features, such as LDAP pooling, keep essential services available to your users even when system glitches or hardware failures occur. So your users stay productive and user satisfaction increases.

GroupWise expands the scope of where and how collaboration takes place, enhancing responsiveness and productivity across the Net. Its broad feature set includes integrated e-mail, instant messaging and scheduling, as well as task, contact and document management. And GroupWise works across traditional, Web-based and wireless clients. New tools help people manage their day-to-day activities more efficiently organising information in the way that best suits their preferences and working style.

Extensive mobile capabilities allow people to access resources with the type of device they prefer, whether that be a desktop or laptop computer, an Internet kiosk or one of the increasingly popular mobile devices, including Nokia and Ericsson cellular phones and handheld devices such as PalmPilot, Pocket PC and RIM BlackBerry. GroupWise includes GroupWise Messenger, a secure instant messaging capability that dramatically enhances interaction among geographically dispersed teams without jeopardising the security of information behind the firewall.

With its enhanced administrative tools, integration through open standards, scalability and flexible pricing options, GroupWise gives you the best in communication and collaboration capabilities while minimising the cost of implementing, managing and maintaining a high-performance system. Advanced technologies allow you to support many more users on a single server, reducing hardware acquisition and management costs. Industry leading administrative tools enhance productivity and reduce the cost of system administration.

As your organisation evolves, whether through mergers, acquisitions, divestitures or internal consolidation GroupWise smoothes the transition by enabling administrators to add and move blocks of users quickly and efficiently. Bottom line: GroupWise for Linux reduces your total cost of ownership and improves your return on investment in communication and collaboration services.
