Novell Collaboration

We selected Novell [over Red Hat and Windows] because
we've had a good experience with NetWare and Novell
150K users Open Enterprise Server is an excellent value. - May 2009
We needed to make the new university e-mail system more
attractive than Google Mail. GroupWise offered an attractive
®
interface and powerful functionality, with encrypted mailboxes
for users. We selected Novell ahead of Microsoft for its
40K users
openness and mixed source approach. - May 2010
Novell Open Enterprise Server works like a dream – even
people with no Linux experience have picked it up rapidly.
7K employees Training has been surprisingly painless. - Jul 2009
We simply could not afford the increased software and
hardware costs of a Microsoft [SharePoint] upgrade... Our
4K users Novell solutions paid for themselves immediately. - Jan
2010
By contrast with SharePoint, which required the service
provider to carry out even routine administration tasks, the new
solution [Novell Teaming] is considerably simpler and more
1K employees
cost-effective for Centrotherm. - Apr 2010
