Microsoft SharePoint Integration for GroupWise Unveiled at GWAVACon Las Vegas

13 Jan 2009 - Omni, the GroupWise Integration Company, today announced that it will unveil two new integration options for Novell GroupWise and Microsoft SharePoint at GWAVACon Las Vegas (January 25-27). The first integration option delivers transparent, bi-directional, server-side synchronization of GroupWise and SharePoint appointments, tasks, address books and support issues. End-users can access the data from the application of their choice. The second option is to embed GroupWise WebAccess Web Parts directly into the SharePoint Portal user interface. This integration provides the same functionality for GroupWise WebAccess in SharePoint as is available for Microsoft Outlook/Exchange.

"GWAVACon will be a very exciting show for Novell customers who are investigating Microsoft SharePoint," said Trevor Poapst, Director of Global Marketing for Omni. "Until now, SharePoint integration for GroupWise has not been available. Customers had one of two options — incur expensive migration costs to deploy Microsoft Exchange or operate two stand-alone systems and manually cut and paste data from application to the other. Our objective was to bridge these two business-critical applications together and provide the same integration features for GroupWise that exist for Microsoft Outlook and Exchange. Organizational teams and individuals across all industries can now use Riva Integration Server to collaborate more efficiently, leverage their existing Novell technology investments and knowledge, and immediately benefit from integrating their line-of-business applications."

"We are very pleased that Omni has chosen GWAVACon Las Vegas as the venue to launch their innovative SharePoint integrations for GroupWise" said Richard Bliss, VP Marketing at GWAVA and conference chair of GWAVACon. GWAVACon is the premier Novell GroupWise conference and Omni’s announcement will help those GroupWise organizations attending to increase interoperability between Novell and Microsoft products."
