OHM Summer 2008  The GroupWiseR initiative is very proud to present the second edition of the Open Horizons Magazine. On this page you can find selection of articles from this exciting new magazine for public viewing. Subscribers of the magazine, please login to access all documents.DocumentsIn this Open Horizons Magazine we celebrate the summer of 2008, have a look at this cover to discover how. Have a look at the inside cover page advertisement by Novell. Opening horizons is the goal of this magazine. As our authors present the broader view, they also offer new and more effective ways to use your existing IT solutions, such as GroupWise, and introduce completely new solutions like Teaming + Conferencing, or as some call it T+C. Or is T+C really a new solution? Have we not seen something like this already? If you’ve been involved with IT for a while, you might have seen many “old cows in new dresses” already. For example, there is an ongoing discussion around Unified Messaging or Unified Communications. So why hasn’t the big revolution happened yet? Will this miracle of everyone being far more connected, effective and efficient ever happen?  In our personal life we naturally gravitate to people with whom we share interests, and we form social groups based on this common ground. The Internet has made these groups migrate to the online world. Today we call these phenomena online social networks and recently they have exploded in size. Facebook has had an average of 250,000 new registrations per day since January 2007. MySpace, which was launched in January 2004, processes 50 million mails per day, more than Yahoo, Hotmail or Google. A new kid on the block, Reunion, caters to an older crowd that is seeking to connect with each other from school or work. It is already ranked at 664 in Inc. 5000 Top Companies 1. Nielsen/Netratings estimates that these sites now reach 45% of all Internet users. The next version of GroupWise is almost there and many people are anxious to get started - the word is out that the new release codenamed Bonsai will not only add a load of new features, but will also solve many of the longstanding issues that some of us have run into. GroupWiseR organizes a series of events in 2008, have a look at information about the EMEA Summit at this page. The GroupWise @ Home SurveyRecently 1,000 GroupWise users worldwide were asked: Would you like to use a free GroupWise client for your private use at home. An amazing 95% said YES! GroupWiseR, the GroupWise community took it upon themselves to find out what 1,000 GroupWise users were thinking. The GroupWise@Home survey was created to ask a series of questions to GroupWise users from around the world. GroupWiseR wanted to know if there is a desire, a need, an interest even from the GroupWise community to use GroupWise outside of work. To use it to replace Microsoft Outlook on their home computers.  Here is a round up of some of the questions that I have been asked in the past few months. If you have a question that you wish to ask please send an email to QandA@open-horizons.net.  Have a look at this message from one of our advertisers. |
