Kent Erickson serves as the Global Senior Vice President and General Manager for the Workgroup Solutions business unit at Novell. He is responsible for the development of all products that make up Novell’s collaboration solutions, including Novell Open Enterprise Server, Novell GroupWise and Novell Teaming + Conferencing. Mr. Erickson visited Dublin recently and outlined to an invited group of Novell customers and partners, Novell’s strategic vision for Workgroup solutions.


There are a number of high profile Novell customers in Ireland running Groupwise today, and for these organisations Groupwise has provided a highly dependable, secure and stable email environment for many years. During his presentation Mr Erickson provided a very worthwhile insight into many of the current focus areas for Novell’s Workgroup solutions. These include expansion of Novell’s Teaming + Conferencing solutions, numerous rich services features available within Open Enterprise Server and the integration of products like SugarCRM with Groupwise.


Furthermore, Novell is executing on its plans to position these solution areas to leverage the very latest technology trends like Cloud Computing. All who heard Mr Erickson address these points found the seminar very beneficial and Securelinx would like to thank Novell in Ireland for providing this opportunity.
