Omni Delivers GroupWise Integration for Microsoft SharePoint, Bluefin CRM and Sage CRM
Riva, the #1 GroupWise CRM and third-party integration solution in the industry, now includes support for Microsoft SharePoint, Bluefin CRM and Sage CRM. Omni is executing on its strategy to provide transparent, server-side, bi-directional synchronisation of CRM and third-party application data for GroupWise. Riva increases profitability by providing executives, sales professionals and project managers with GroupWise and CRM calendar, contact, opportunity and support information when and where they need it. With Riva, GroupWise emails can be easily archived against customer accounts. Users can view, edit and delete sales opportunities, quotes and support cases directly from their GroupWise client. CRM calendar items, appointments, phone calls, tasks, notes and address book information are available in all GroupWise caching and on-line clients, including Windows, Linux, WebAccess, BlackBerry, GroupWise Mobile Server devices.
Novell customers are equally excited about Riva's integration support for Microsoft SharePoint. SharePoint is a browser-based collaboration and document-management platform. SharePoint allows teams to work together, collaborate on and publish documents, maintain task lists, implement workflows and share information through wikis and blogs. Riva provides value by delivering transparent, two-way synchronisation of GroupWise and SharePoint calendar data, contacts, task lists and project issues.

Automated, Policy-based Mailbox Management with Riva from Omni
Riva Managed Policies allow GroupWise administrators to manage their user mailboxes like never before! Quickly and easily create Riva Policies that manage users' rule settings, remove unauthorised proxy rights, manage folder structures, and push centrally managed GroupWise calendars and address books to individual user accounts, groups of users or your entire Tree.
Riva leverages the GroupWise Trusted Application architecture and eDirectory connectors to allow administrators to centrally control and manage their GroupWise and eDirectory accounts from a single administrator workstation. Take advantage of Riva's new reporting features for GroupWise to provide access to GroupWise Archive Path, Proxy, Rules, Shared Address Book, Shared Folders and Shared Calendar information that is otherwise not available through GWCheck.

EMU -- The Best Way to Bulk Create and Manage GroupWise and eDirectory Accounts
The 2008/09 School Year is right around the corner! If you are a GroupWise administrator at a university or K-12 school district, do yourself a huge favour and test-drive EMU. EMU is the "ultimate" tool for bulk importing, creating, managing and deleting hundreds or thousands of GroupWise, eDirectory and NetMail accounts. The following Quick Tour will demonstrate how EMU uses a source .CSV file to create home directories, set environment and login restrictions, set password restrictions, set passwords from a text file, assign users to groups and generate accounts automatically. Rather than re-configuring all this information, EMU allows you to save and re-use User Create Profiles.
If you are finding that home-grown LDIF batch scripts, UIMPORT, ICE or GWImport are either too complex to use or are missing features, give EMU a try and you won't look back!
