Novell Launches "Connect Your World: A Partnership Perspective" Roadshow

Showcase Presents Networking Solutions that Increase Productivity, Reduce
Costs

OREM, UTAH -- APRIL 23, 1996 -- On May 2, 1996, Novell Inc. and over 30
leading hardware and software partners are scheduled to kick off this
year's Novell Solutions Showcase Roadshow, entitled "Connect Your World: A
Partnership Perspective," with stops scheduled in 41 cities worldwide.
This event will present business solutions that combine Novell products,
including NetWare 4 and Novell Directory Services (NDS), with partner
products to create the integrated networking solutions that businesses
need to compete in a network-centered world. The "Connect Your World"
Solutions Showcase will demonstrate to users, developers and resellers how
Novell and its industry partners are working together to deliver the most
efficient and cost-effective networking solutions available today.
Together with its partners, Novell is offering solutions that connect
businesses of all sizes to a Smart Global Network spanning from workgroup
LANs to intranets and the Internet.

"At these seminars, attendees will experience networking from a new
perspective with hands-on booth demonstrations from leading industry
partners," said Robert Checketts, director of market development, NetWare
Products Division, at Novell. "They will also learn about the benefits of
integrating NDS and peripherals with Novell Embedded System Technology
(NEST) into their networks through business, developer and technical
breakout sessions geared toward attendee areas of interest. We've created
these seminars to give customers strong evidence that Novell and its
partners provide the most reliable and robust business solutions
available."

NetWare and NDS, the industry-leading global directory service, are
achieving strong market momentum, according to figures from International
Data Corporation (IDC), a leading market research firm. According to IDC,
Novell shipped more NetWare connections in 1995 (51 percent) than all
other server operating systems in the world combined. In addition, sales
of NetWare 4 connections increased more than 400 percent in 1995, making
NetWare the world's best-selling server operating system. NetWare also
maintains a 63-percent market share in the network operating system
category, establishing NDS as the de facto industry standard for
distributed network directory services -- a database for finding and
managing network-based information. The "Connect Your World" Solutions
Showcase will highlight the growing number of NDS-aware solutions
available and how Novell solutions can aid management, reduce cost of
ownership and increase productivity in networks of all sizes.

Multiple Track Sessions

Each event will feature a Novell Interoperability Demo that will
demonstrate the strengths of NetWare and other Novell products, and over
30 breakout sessions divided into the following three special-interest
tracks.

* Business: These sessions will highlight the powerful financial and
administrative benefits Novell and third-party networking solutions
provide to businesses and end users.

* Technical-Developer: Developers, independent software vendors (ISV),
value-added resellers (VAR), original equipment manufacturers (OEM),
consultants and system integrators will learn about the benefits of
building native solutions to Novell's NetWare and GroupWise XTD integrated
messaging system, see partner tools that significantly ease NetWare
development and hear more about the benefits of developing network-aware
software with Net2000 application programming interfaces.

* Technical-Information Systems: Aimed primarily at technical reseller
support personnel, Certified Novell Administrators (CNA) and CNEs,
sessions will focus on the technical benefits that NDS and NDS- integrated
products provide for managing networks.
