"A mashup-style personal-productivity dashboard allows users to customise their workspace, providing a comprehensive, single overview of the folders, emails, appointments, tasks, collaboration and web tools that matter most to them," Novell said.

"The new contact-management features help users track, manage and develop business relationships," the company stated.

Kent Erickson, senior vice president and general manager of Novell's workgroup solutions arm, said organisations are looking for collaboration tools that keep their employees focused on driving business forward, and their systems running smoothly, without increasing costs.
