For whom is this book interesting?

We expect that our readers have used the basic features of Teaming before as we start our exciting discovery trip through the many possibilities of Teaming. Most of what we describe is "front-end" stuff, but sometimes we will have to include some “back-end” tools as well. In some cases the reader might not have access to these tools nor should an "ordinary" user in most cases have access to them. Still, we include these topics to show the overall picture of how to create an effective Teaming environment.
 

The Authors - Diethmar Rimser & Erno de Korte

Diethmar Rimser (BrainAgents - a company focused on GroupWise) started with Novell in 1985. As a professional instructor he has been active since 1994 teaching Novell and Microsoft (It is always good to know both sides). But almost at the same time he has found his real profession - GroupWise. All his activities are now targeted on GroupWise.
Erno has been supporting GroupWise since it was still called WordPerfect Office, with a special interest in integration of document management, workflow, CRM and PDA's. As an MCNE and MCNI, he has delivered training and consulting throughout the world. Erno has been a speaker on BrainShare, Summits and NUI events.
