Novell has announced the first real-time collaboration platform for the enterprise, Novell Pulse. In addition, Novell stated it is working with Google to enable Novell Pulse users and Google Wave users to seamlessly work together across both systems.
Novell Pulse combines e-mail, document authoring and social messaging tools with security and management capabilities. By implementing the Google Wave Federation Protocol, Novell Pulse is one of the first major Wave providers.
“We designed Google Wave and its open federation protocol to help people collaborate and communicate more efficiently,” said Lars Rasmussen, Software Engineering Manager for Google Wave. “We are very excited to see Novell supporting the Google Wave Federation Protocol in their innovative Novell Pulse product.”
During a keynote session at Enterprise 2.0 in San Francisco, Novell will demonstrate the technology preview of this real-time social and document collaboration platform. Novell Pulse includes interoperability with Google Wave through the federation protocol, letting Novell Pulse users communicate in real-time with users on any other Wave provider.
Available in the first half of 2010, the company says that Novell Pulse will help drive enterprise productivity and innovation by making it easier to communicate digitally, generate ideas and share information.
“Novell Pulse gives users a single interface for teaming with co-workers and partners in real-time, bringing together content from various enterprise and social applications,” said Kent Erickson, Senior VP and GM for Workgroup Solutions at Novell. “For the first time, enterprises can tie business controls and security together with real-time collaboration and social networking technologies to improve decision making and to work more efficiently across boundaries.”
