At Open Horizons we've been using this version for quite some time now and it we're still finding new improvements every day. It's really interesting to see how a mature solution like GroupWise can be even further improved with so many new things. And the good news is: many of these improvements have been based on user feedback, so if you take your wish-list and compare that to the new version, don't be surprised if almost all of them are realised with this new version. Next week at the EMEA Summit (http://www.emeasummit.net) we will be able to show much more of this new version, so join us for this great event or at least for the 10-8-5 Party to celebrate the Launch of GroupWise 8 and much more text/html 2008-11-17T22:33:36+01:00 http://www.open-horizons.net http://www.open-horizons.net/blog/herbi/comment-on-cool-solutions Today I saw a great comment on coolsolutions, which I would like to share with all of you: If you have had the experience of being an admin for GroupWise, Exchange, and Notes, as I have, you would know that GW beats them both hands down. My last position (for 6 years) had Exchange 5.x-2000 (which forced us to implement AD - what a nightmare when you are used to a real directory\meta-directory like NDS/eDirectory), and it had critical calls opened at least twice a month. Downtime averaged >48 hrs/month. text/html 2008-10-19T16:54:45+01:00 http://www.open-horizons.net http://www.open-horizons.net/news/site-news/grouplink-will-join-the-emea-summit-as-well Just last week GroupLink has announced that they will join us as well at the EMEA Summit. They will present Lab650 Your Integration Story – Is Your Help Desk Really Integrated? . In this lab you will learn how the everything HelpDesk's key integration with GroupWise calendaring and email system, Zenworks and eDirectory can benefit your organization. You'll also learn how to install and configure a trial that you can take home with you to try in your organization. This lab will be a very good chance to dig into the HelpDesk system, and configure it exactly how you want to see it used in your organization. You can read more about GroupLink and their lab at this page (http://mailer.open-horizons.net/12all/lt/t_go.php?i=40 e=MjM5 l=-http--www.open-horizons.net/emea-summit-2008/) text/html 2008-11-04T11:40:46+01:00 http://www.open-horizons.net http://www.open-horizons.net/blog/erno/teaming-+-conferencing-open-horizons-first-to-run-copy-in-workflow-thanks-to-commworld Teaming + Conferencing is a great help for many of the Open Horizons projects, like the Open Horizons Magazine, the GroupWise Powerguide and so on. A big part of that success is because of the advanced workflow module, which helps us to streamline processes, for example the flow of articles between authors, editors and production. However, as we noticed during the creation of a new workflow for the Powerguide project,a certian feature might not be available, in this case this was the COPY feature. The good news is: as T+C is an open source project, the solution to this problem arrived very quickly, in this case thanks to the commworld experts. text/html 2008-11-04T11:40:46+01:00 http://www.open-horizons.net http://www.open-horizons.net/blog/erno/peter-wachs-call-for-action-join-the-community-at-the-emea-summit Today I'm still in Krakow (PL) with Paul, Diethmar, Marcel, Adam and Wojciech delivering the CEE Summit, I just received some excellent feedback on our next project, the EMEA Summit. Have a look at this Call-for-Action from Peter Wachs (DE): I have visited the Groupwise EMEA Summit 2005 for the first time. Before that event, I thought Groupwise was used only by a few companies and that Novell wasn't really doing well in publicating the product. However, I was really impressed how many participants joined this event in 2005. This experience gave me a totally new view for Groupwise and everything which has to do with it. Peter then discusses the 3 main reasons why these events have been so important for him...
