Novell customers who plan to deploy Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server or Microsoft Office SharePoint 2007 can now take advantage of tight integration and interoperability with their existing Novell GroupWise investment.

Omni has developed the critical bridge and interoperability between Microsoft SharePoint and Novell GroupWise and opened up unprecedented integration

Trevor Poapst, Omni Omni, a leading UK recruitment outsourcer and recruitment transformation specialist, has announced two Microsoft SharePoint integration options for Novell GroupWise technology. Omni's Riva Integration Server provides transparent, server-side synchronisation of GroupWise and SharePoint appointments, tasks, address books and issues, without any modifications required to SharePoint or the GroupWise clients. Option two is to use Riva to add GroupWise WebAccess Web parts directly to the SharePoint Portal user interface.

“SharePoint is the fastest-growing product in Microsoft's history,” said Trevor Poapst, director of global marketing for Omni. “While other enterprise information portals exist, Novell customers were telling us that they wanted SharePoint integration for their existing investment.”

The SharePoint integration solution fosters and enhances corporate productivity and collaboration without users having to change the way they use either application. GroupWise Web Parts can also be added directly to the SharePoint Portal interface using standard Web part administration tools.

“Omni has developed the critical bridge and interoperability between Microsoft SharePoint and Novell GroupWise and opened up unprecedented integration and collaboration possibilities for Novell customers,” continued Poapst. “Our customers appreciate the fact that they can use Novell eDirectory, Active Directory or SharePoint Services authentication to provide transparent, single sign-on and interoperability between SharePoint and GroupWise.”
