MAYNARD, MA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- February 14, 2007 -- SiteScape, Inc. (www.sitescape.com), the
premier provider of secure web-based workflow and collaboration solutions,
today announced that Waltham, MA-based Novell, Inc. (NASDAQ : NOVL ) has
signed an agreement to distribute SiteScape's next generation of
collaboration software. The new software will round out Novell's offerings
in the workgroup productivity market, through team workspace and real-time
conferencing solutions.
"This new software will provide strong collaboration capabilities to the
many customers who have already deployed proven Novell workgroup services
on Linux," said Kent Erickson, Vice President and General Manager of Novell
Workgroup Solutions. "We did a thorough analysis of the collaboration
vendors in the market and concluded that SiteScape had the most innovative
technology in this space. These products will be a valuable complement to
the Novell Open Workgroup Suite, delivering a more complete, open and
cost-effective workgroup productivity solution from desktop to server."
The new SiteScape software, which will be available in mid-2007, will
include real-time meeting capabilities as well as team workspace
collaboration tools such as blogs and wikis. Further information and
pre-release demonstrations will be available at Novell's 2007 BrainShare
conference held March 18-22 in Salt Lake City and at Gartner's Portals,
Content and Collaboration Summit held March 19-21 in Orlando.
"I am excited by the opportunity for our market-leading technology to drive
user adoption of collaboration software," said SiteScape CEO and Chairman
Brian Hays. "With our easy-to-deploy architecture, this partnership will
give us the leverage to reach a much broader market."
Most recently, SiteScape announced Version 8.0 of Forum, its unified
collaboration platform that allows team members to work in real-time and
asynchronously. Forum Version 8 adds blogs, wikis, support for
voice-over-IP, and powerful additions to its industry-leading workflow
engine. Forum's award-winning collaboration application also contains
document management, web and phone conferencing, instant messaging and
calendar sharing.
Organizations such as Shell, the US Navy, the Centers for Disease Control,
and Starwood Hotels and Resorts use SiteScape products as their preferred
collaboration solution.
