What is "groupwise"

GroupWise is a messaging and collaboration platform from Novell that supports email, calendaring, personal information management, instant messaging, and document management. The GroupWise platform consists of desktop client software, which is available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux, and the server software, which is supported on Windows Server and Linux.

The platform also supports WebAccess, its browser-based webmail client. Mobile access to messaging, calendaring, contacts and other data from smartphones and tablet computers is supported (through the Novell Data Synchronizer server software) via the Exchange ActiveSync protocol. Enterprise instant messaging and presence is handled by Novell Messenger, which integrates with GroupWise.

The latest generation of the platform is GroupWise 2014 R2.
