●● Australian Tax Office May Dump Novell

Posted in Google, Microsoft, Novell at 7:16 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

Summary: NSW tax office is looking for a GroupWise replacement

GroupWise is losing business quicker than it gains any. Here is a new report which suggests that Novell will almost certainly be dumped. It is not known yet which product will replace Novell’s GroupWise, but NSW makes another mistake [1, 2] by sending communication to be parsed and spied on by another company.

Microsoft’s BPOS (business productivity suite) and Google Apps on trial to potentially replace the OSR’s in-house Novell GroupWise system.

Government departments should never rely on remotely-hosted services. Never. It’s about control. █

“Stop Microsoft through government antitrust enforcement now or say goodbye to new products and the openness of the Internet. Gates will own everything, and collect a fee on every imaginable product and service in cyberspace from home finance to a virtual visit to the Louvre. And forget about getting these products and services someplace else. Competitors won’t exist.”

–Antitrust attorney Gary Reback
