What Does It Do?

Novell Vibe® puts the power of collaboration where it belongs: In users’ hands. It gives everyone who needs to work as a team a single place to go online and get things done, whether they’re writing a document or are engaged in large, complex projects with thousands of moving parts.

With Novell Vibe, users can:

• Create their own online “war rooms”: central spaces where they can manage project steps, invite participants from both inside the organization and out, and then discuss, create, edit and respond to one another using a wide variety of tools.
• Create these spaces themselves, without waiting for IT, and then interact in those spaces at any time, from anywhere, using almost any device…including mobile devices.
• Always know what page they’re on, with strong document management that’s easy to use, easy to set up, and powerful enough to ensure everyone always has the latest version, every time.
• Adds to what users can do, extends existing environments, providing the collaborative tools that make them more productive, integrated with the tools they already have.

Team and Workforce Productivity

Securely access projects, documents, and content by using a mobile interface that is optimized for smartphones and tablets, while mobile apps for Apple iPhone and Google Android simplify access. Mobile workers can also contribute to the conversation through email integrations and notifications.

People from all over the world can work together very efficiently. Without needing IT help, workers can easily create their own ad hoc project teams and workspaces. They can identify and gather the team members who can contribute the right expertise, knowledge and value they need for their project.

Project leaders and team members can use Novell Vibe workspaces to store, organize and share all information related to a specific project. This includes things like:

• Documents
• Ideas
• Plans
• Research
• Milestones
• Tasks
• Expected outcomes
• Work in progress

Vibe lets your teams connect data from different collaboration sources—including wikis, blogs, forums, e-mail, calendars, documents, and web pages—and aggregate information based on the needs of a specific project.

Vibe consolidates collaboration tools into one secure, powerfully indexed solution that lets team members work together more intelligently, creatively and productively.
