Wow - they actually manage to mention the word "NET" 7 times in that boilerplate (not counting internet & network). That sure gets a message across that Novell is an INTERNET PLAY.

I also like the way they throw in wireless as well. Novell has some CTI software somewhere right :)

This is a great sentence:
<<Net Services software gives IT organizations a way to adapt and accelerate their transformation to e-business, simplify the management and control of all networks, create a secure foundation for doing business on the Net, and help deliver a consistent and high-quality experience to end users in all locations.>>>

Novell is no longer just an NOS company that sells primarily to Corporations for internal networks. They are transforming their image to be THE company that can create solutions based on MANY products (not just their own). This is an important differentiation - it seems to suggest OPEN platforms - plug-n-use technology.

Not bad - do you think the grumblings of the SI board were heard 'round the net in Provo?
