How it integrates with other iPhone iPad applications even with DataSync running integration stinks.By continuing to browse or login to this website, you consent to the use of cookies.The document lists the following features: Superior message tracking Silent message retraction Native attachment viewing Recurring appointment flexibility Managing group tasks User-controlled proxy rights Enhanced busy search Simpler folder sharing Calendar view of future tasks Managing sent appointments and calendar items Of course, the flyer goes into more detail on each of these items and provides explanations.
There were many features and capabilities to choose from, but these are the ones chosen for this flyer. What would you miss So - now that I have your brainstorming attention - what are those things that you use every day in the GroupWise product that you simply could not live without Personally, I have a long list of things that are leveraged in GroupWise and that are customized to a particular way of working - MINE I have customized the highly productive habitat to manage my workload, schedule, and information. ![]() Most work days start and end with GroupWise Share what features you would miss or that you use the most Dean. My community and I recognize all of these features as being wonderful (except if youre a Macintosh user), and some of them have likely extended the life span of GroupWise here at my campus, but they are greatly overshadowed now by other shortcomings. There isnt a single Macintosh user that would take the Mac GW Client, and the features on the list that do work, over something modern and well integrated as Mac Outlook. If you want to keep customers, fixaddress the reasons why we are leaving. Is there a new client on the way Is CalDAV and CardDAV in the works Moving from GroupWise isnt free, but when your customers are willing to spend the money, and accept the loss of some coveted features, its time to think different. Jeff. You will notice that the current GroupWise roadmap at ends with next years Windermere release in early 2013. That release includes two enormous features that will be soaking up all available engineering time: Active Directory support and the new management interface (along with its API). Either one of those is a huge undertaking, and they have to be done right, so I would not expect to see additional Mac support in that release. My speculation would be that Mac news will come whenever the roadmap is next updated -- at the latest, Brainshare 2013 when the current roadmap is coming to a close, Windermere is shipping (or close to it), and major announcements will improve publicity. However, I think we can see which way the wind is blowing: OES just licensed Kanaka for Mac as its official client, ZENWorks 11.2 added Mac support (so 2 of 3 major Novell products have included Mac support), and every GroupWise piece includes iOS support as part of its roadmap. The GroupWise team may not know exactly what its Mac story is going to be, but I bet they are close to having one if not already in-development. I am on a Mac in a GroupWise 8 environment, and I am using WebAccess exclusively at this point, so I share your pain. For new customers looking at GroupWise, these features are necessary, but why is Novell so interested in new customers vs holding on to the customers they already have The big motivator for moving is the client-side (face of GroupWise). Its not admins driving migration because of the back-end, its end-users who are frustrated with the current state of the clients. My point is simple - GroupWise management should put AD and Web Management of the back burner for Windermere, and move their focus back to the clients. AD and Web Management will be a wonderful thing, but how many GroupWise customers will Novell have lost by then Jeff. Ive ran it since version 5 and will try and get away with running it for as long as possible. But honestly, a few features that will be missing if you leave is not going to make people want to stay. Get the client bugs and annoyances fixed, get the product rock-solid like it once was, and maybe then bosses like mine wont lean on so many people to look elsewhere Alan.
