Novell GroupWise 7 Now Available!
Your collaboration solution should help—not hinder—business productivity. If you're ready for the next step in e-mail, instant messaging, calendaring and task management, Novell GroupWise® 7 can keep your communication channels reliable and secure—and bring you peace of mind. Native Microsoft* Outlook* support, PDA integration with key partners, enhanced migration tools and API advancements are just a few of the new features that put GroupWise in a class all its own.
As a premier multiplatform collaboration solution, GroupWise 7 helps your organization maintain secure, authenticated communications within your enterprise as well as with companies and individuals beyond your firewall. It 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.
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
