Q.
Why is Novell's directory important to the networking industry and my applications?
A.
Industry-wide recognition of the value of directory-enabled applications has just begun. In fact, industry publications such as PC Week are saying: "The networking world will take on a substantially different slant this year, with services becoming the center of attention."* A high-performing, standards-based directory is essential for making this happen. More than any emerging or existing competitive offering, this describes Novell Directory Services.
During the next 12 to 18 months, directory-enabled applications will be making their appearance in corporate networks, greatly increasing the value of directories, and opening up a new intelligent networking arena in which Novell and developers to NDS and the NetWare 5 platform (as well as Windows NT and UNIX platforms) will prevail. *PC Week, January 5, 1998
