(WHIT) unveiled e-Catalog, an e-commerce customer relationship product.

The first version of e-Catalog is available to organizations with an SAP AG (SAP) back-office environment. E-Catalog integrates Novell Inc.'s (NOVL) NDS eDirectory service platform, which stores the customer's personal profile and purchase history; Novell's iChain, which provides the access control and user authentication needed to group the customer into a community; and SAP's SAP R/3, which leverages the information stored in eDirectory and suggests to customers the products or services that are consistent with their interests.

Hello P., > The market should have understood the potential revenue/market > share of these products. May be, this is a "wait and see" attitude > - skeptical of NOVL's ability to execute - against the backdrop of > MSFT's Win 2000 release.

Until the message rings out that Novell is "complimentary to" instead of "competitive to" Microsoft, I believe that many people worry about the moves that Microsoft might make ... I feel that they need to embrace Win2k, Linux, etc. ... they are inevitable forces to be dealt with ... Scott C. Lemon
