"With ZENworks, we are no longer spending all our time putting out fires... In the past, everyone was on the front lines of support and we were overwhelmed. Now everything is organized and well managed."

"We know that many organisations and many governments around the world are looking at adopting Linux and are therefore carefully analysing the numbers. We now provide what we think are the tools for making such a decision easier. And the final numbers are indeed startling. We've given Microsoft every head-start possible but Linux's cost advantage is simply too great for most organisations to ignore,"

"Our primary goal is to the increase the quality of education, and we do that if we can help teachers use technology efficiently. A new portal seems like a simple solution, but we are seeing dramatic benefits already. Novell exteNd and Nsure have helped us broaden our horizons and have laid the groundwork for future enhancements, such as allowing parents to securely view information about their child's assignments, grades and attendance."

"We run a lean IT shop and try to do most of our own development. The applications team was moving quickly to open standards and Web-based delivery and we had to work fast to provide the right business infrastructure. Novell solutions fit right in with our business and security model." (More...)

"One of the potential problems when upgrading network software is that loading configurations and policies can be tedious and time-consuming, and there is a risk of incurring serious errors with multiple installations. Novell makes for an easy and seamless migration. With data stored in eDirectory, we just install a new NetWare server, create a replica of the directory, and it's ready to go." (More...)

"Without a clear view of our information and assets, there were risks of unnecessary duplications of efforts and resources, over-complicated systems, missed revenue streams and limitations on our responsiveness as a business.

"The total cost of ownership with Microsoft would have been extremely high for a small IT staff. To run Active Directory and the same services as we run with NetWare would require twice the hardware and additional IT staff, particularly in our distributed environment. The cost of moving to Windows was simply prohibitive." (More...)

"NetWare has morphed into an environment that goes well beyond file and print. With NetWare 6.5, we didn't have to learn an entirely new platform and can get the power of open source in an environment we know and trust. Our users don't even know the meaning of downtime." (More...)

"I've worked for several healthcare organizations during the past 15 years, and I'm a firm believer that Novell simplifies virtually every aspect of managing a network. With Microsoft, the performance just isn't there and we got tired of their 'patch of the week.' There is no way to efficiently manage a network of any size without Novell at the heart of it."
