IntranetWare HostPublisher

Novell is now shipping IntranetWare HostPublisher, which allows you to convert files stored on a mainframe computer into HyperText Markup Language (HTML) documents. You can then publish these documents on the Internet or on your company's intranet, and users can access the documents using a World-Wide Web browser.

Because IntranetWare HostPublisher includes Novell Web Server 3.1 and Netscape Navigator 4.02, you can build a complete Internet or intranet solution out of the box. You can use IntranetWare HostPublisher to create HTML documents, Novell Web Server 3.1 to develop a web server on which to publish these documents, and Netscape Navigator 4.02 to view the documents from any workstation with an Internet connection.

IntranetWare HostPublisher also includes extensive security features to ensure that only authorized users can access critical mainframe information. For example, IntranetWare HostPublisher is fully integrated with Novell Directory Services (NDS), so you can grant users rights to the HTML documents you publish. In addition, IntranetWare HostPublisher uses IP address checking to verify users and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) 3.0 technology to encrypt data between Novell Web Server 3.1 and users' web browsers.

You can download a free evaluation copy of IntranetWare HostPublisher, which expires on January 31, 1998, from http://www.harte-hanks.com/novell/host_publisher.

GroupWise WebPublisher

Novell is now shipping GroupWise WebPublisher, which you can use to publish GroupWise 5.2 documents on the Internet or on your company's intranet. Because GroupWise WebPublisher includes a full-text search engine that provides enhanced search capabilities, users can quickly and easily locate the documents they need, and they can access these documents only if you have granted these users the necessary rights in NDS. In addition, if you adjust users rights or if you modify a document, GroupWise WebPublisher automatically replicates these changes to the Internet or to your company's intranet.

You can download GroupWise WebPublisher free from http://www.novell.com/groupwise/html/dwninfo2.html, and you can participate in a GroupWise WebPublisher demo at http://publisher.novell.com.

GroupWise Workflow Professional

Novell has released an open beta version of GroupWise Workflow Professional, which allows you to manage your company's projects. To initiate a project using GroupWise Workflow Professional, you simply drag-and-drop icons for particular users to indicate which users should complete which tasks. You can also enter detailed instructions about each task. Then when a user is scheduled to begin a task, that user receives an e-mail message containing the instructions you entered. After the user completes this task, GroupWise Workflow Professional automatically routes the project to the user responsible for the next task.
