3 GroupWise.AdvisorEvents.com GroupWise – its future GroupWise in 2004 (and beyond) will encompass several different Novell technologies, including the “traditional” GroupWise technology, with all components integrated in order to provide a pervasive collaboration environment: GroupWise in 2004 GroupWise  iFolder  NetMail  Virtual Office  Messenger

4 GroupWise.AdvisorEvents.com Today’s Complex Collaborative Environment The Applications I use… … And where I put information Where did I put that file? Who did I share it with? word processing spreadsheet s presentations email calendar graphics editors email desktop file system network storage offline storage handhel d device

5 GroupWise.AdvisorEvents.com Collaboration Challenges  Searches return too much data, not enough relevant information  Emailed items lose their original context  Parallel, out-of-sync storage systems with non- parallel hierarchy Find  What’s the best way to file an item? By subject? By sender? By project? By date?  Shared folders/mapped drives too complex  My inbox is a list of everyone ELSE’s priorities Organize  E-mailing documents the only way to share  Assignments get lost between various tools  Not easy to generate “friendly reminders” Coordinate

6 GroupWise.AdvisorEvents.com When did you last do this???  Create a document, and save it to the desktop  Mail it around to the team as an attachment  Receive three copies back, each with differing edits  Edit your original, add the changes, and save it to the desktop  Mail it back around to the team  File the sent item with the rest of the project emails  Six months later, field a request for the document, and forget where you put it  Email the team members to see if one of them has it.

7 GroupWise.AdvisorEvents.com How we work today...  Email has become a preferred method of file sharing for many users saving attached files from an email message into shared folders, as an example, makes the files inaccessible to the user's desktop applications saving attached files from an email message into shared folders, as an example, makes the files inaccessible to the user's desktop applications While shared folders has made the files more accessible to groups of user's, actually working with those files requires that the user move them to a local store - often a replicated file structure, similar to one she might have created in GroupWise, on her local computer While shared folders has made the files more accessible to groups of user's, actually working with those files requires that the user move them to a local store - often a replicated file structure, similar to one she might have created in GroupWise, on her local computer Thus users have created a filing and management overhead that causes additional work for them. Thus users have created a filing and management overhead that causes additional work for them.

8 GroupWise.AdvisorEvents.com Integrating iFolder into GroupWise  The integration of iFolder into GroupWise proposes to bridge the gap between the GroupWise client and the desktop and related applications By saving attachments directly into iFolders within the GroupWise client, the attachments are saved locally on the desktop file system, thus readily available to desktop productivity applications By saving attachments directly into iFolders within the GroupWise client, the attachments are saved locally on the desktop file system, thus readily available to desktop productivity applications With multiple folders and sharing being added, it eases the ability to share and collaborate on documents without the complexity of a DMS system, which is often foreign or too difficult to use for many users With multiple folders and sharing being added, it eases the ability to share and collaborate on documents without the complexity of a DMS system, which is often foreign or too difficult to use for many users

9 GroupWise.AdvisorEvents.com Always ready – always available  Just as GroupWise makes updated files readily available through DMS, so does iFolder - but more transparently and always available even when GroupWise is not running  iFolder is (well, it will be!) available across various platforms, bringing better collaboration to more users  iFolder is not ODMA dependent, thus making all applications equally efficient for collaboration  iFolder moves the GroupWise concept of Shared Folders to a new level
