New Release of Novell Teaming Allows Business to Generate, Act On and Preserve
Corporate Innovation
Collaborative workspace application helps IT and people work as one

WALTHAM, Mass., Sept. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Novell today announced the
general availability of Novell(R) Teaming 2, a next-generation collaborative
application that brings people, projects and processes together in a single
location to increase efficiency and foster innovation. With new features
including enhanced workflows, relevance dashboards and branded workspaces,
Novell Teaming rounds out the company's suite of collaboration solutions and
allows employees to generate, act on and preserve ideas and information to
maximize enterprise productivity.

Novell Teaming was recently recognized as a leader in the August 2009
Forrester Research, Inc. report, The Forrester Wave: Collaboration Platforms,
Q3 2009. In evaluating Novell Teaming, the report states, "Teaming brings very
strong capabilities for workspaces and collaborative application development,
particularly in the area of workflow."

Team and Personal Workspaces
Utilizing the Novell Teaming search engine and Web 2.0-based communication
tools, such as wikis and blogs, Novell Teaming allows users to tap into an
organization's expertise and knowledge resources in real time. Through a
single, always-available team workspace, customers, such as Kempinski Hotels,
Louisiana Department of Social Service and Viable, Inc., can create and impact
documents, co-author content, collaborate on edits and input and easily manage
version control. They can also build workflows to streamline group input and
approval procedures as well as automate project processes. Additionally,
end-users can organize their individual work and team activity in a personal
workspace that provides a consolidated dashboard to track and manage all
projects and enables them to quickly launch into any of those spaces with a
single click.

Preserve and leverage ideas
By combining data tags with a powerful search engine, Novell Teaming allows
enterprises to preserve and access corporate intellectual property. This
process allows organizations to continually leverage competitive intelligence
and store informational assets to ensure that collective corporate knowledge
is never lost and can be accessed at any time. Within Teaming, documents,
electronic messages, conversations and community knowledge are all stored in a
single workspace built with integrated identity and security controls.

New features in Novell Teaming include:
-- Relevance Dashboard - enables users to track the people and workspaces
most relevant to them and their specific projects
-- Branded Workspaces - allow teams to customize their own workspaces -
secure and reliable virtual locations for sharing information
-- Customizable Team Landing Pages - let people create personal landing
pages that centralize relevant information in a single location

-- Powerful Workflow Enhancements - allow users to view status histories
and create workflows through a completely user-driven design process

"Today's global enterprises rely on the creative mindshare of individuals,
teams and even customers. However, without the right tools to uncover and
develop that information, businesses can waste valuable time, putting them at
a competitive disadvantage," said Kent Erickson, senior vice president and
general manager for the Workgroup Solutions at Novell. "Designed to help users
innovate, Novell Teaming enables enterprises to put insight into action and
drive productivity forward."

Novell Teaming 2 is currently available and can be purchased in a variety of
bundles including Novell Teaming and Novell Teaming + NOWS. Pricing starts at
$92 per user/license. Novell Teaming 2 is also integrated with Novell
