Multiple Packages From Same Vendors -- Mail market
muddied by too many products
Computer Reseller News
From the article:
Novell Inc.'s GroupWise is not immune, either. When Novell, Orem,
Utah, and Netscape Communications Corp., Mountain View, Calif.,
disclosed plans to launch a joint venture to move SuiteSpot to
IntranetWare, analysts wondered what fate awaited GroupWise, which
competes with SuiteSpot in some areas.
Products resulting from the joint venture-to be called Novonyx-will move through Novell's channel. But they will not be on Novell's price list, and "that's a big difference," said Stewart Nelson, Novell's vice president of applications.
Nelson told CRN that Novonyx could be an outlet for tried-and-true
GroupWise technologies, such as calendaring, scheduling and discussion
threading, as well as upcoming technologies like the Jefferson Project, which will ease movement of legacy information onto the Web.

Beware the Vendor Agenda -- If you've heard any of
these myths, don't believe 'em.
Windows Magazine
From the article:
Myth 6: Novell is dog meat. Reports of Novell's death have also been
greatly exaggerated. When people see Windows NT Server with
three-digit projected growth every year for the foreseeable future, they assume NetWare will lose and die. In fact, there's a huge demand for NetWare as a bona fide network operating system that securely links entire enterprises with its global directory and administration features. Novell expects 8 million servers to be running NetWare by the year 2000, twice the current number. NT also has a role as a server operating system, dishing out applications and acting as the server for large departments. The two will live side by side and serve different purposes.

These Executives Are On The Hot Seat
Computer Reseller News
From the article:
Eric Schmidt, Novell's new chairman and chief executive, is now a
member of an illustrious club:executives on the hot seat. He joins a
growing list of corporate managers who find themselves at the helm of
companies that are in trouble, on the verge of turnarounds or facing
extinction.
Eric Schmidt:A newcomer to the turnaround game, Schmidt left the cozy
confines of Sun Microsystems to take the reins at Novell, a fairly risky proposition considering the myriad of jobs he could have taken. His arrival at Novell hardly budged the stock, but served as a shot of
adrenaline through the entire NetWare channel. We'll see if Schmidt is as good a manager as he is a technical visionary.

NT Tidbits

From the article:
Microsoft is crowing about a study that declared Exchange Server "easier to use" than Lotus Domino and Netscape Mail Server. But be sure to read the fine print: Microsoft sponsored the study, and it completely overlooked Novell GroupWise.

Dropping In On Dr. Gig for a Byte
Communications week
From the article:
One of the crocs leaped and I kicked it in the jaw. Dr. Gig was telling me that Novell's appointment of a new CEO has not quelled speculation that it might be sold. The most recently rumored suitors are Oracle and Netscape, or a partnership of both.
