GroupWise WorkFlow Increases the Efficiency of Work Processes

Anyone that can use E-mail can use GroupWise Workflow to move work faster
through their organization

NETWORLD+INTEROP, Las Vegas, -- April 2, 1996 -- Building upon the value
already offered by the GroupWise 4.1 Universal In Box, Novell, Inc. today
unveiled GroupWise WorkFlow. This breakthrough product offering gives the
more than 5.5 million GroupWise users the ability to create, define and
participate in electronic work processes from the familiar environment of
GroupWise.

GroupWise WorkFlow reduces the impact of traditional work process
obstacles, such as misfiled documents and lost inter-office mail, which
act as bottlenecks that make business office processes slow down or even
grind to a halt. By reducing the impact of these obstacles, GroupWise
WorkFlow helps knowledge workers move work faster through their
organizations.

"To date, the personal computing industry has focused on making the
individual rather than overall work processes more productive, thereby
creating islands of productivity throughout an organization," said Stewart
Nelson, vice president and general manager, Novell GroupWare Division.
"The GroupWise Universal In Box was Novell's first step in linking these
islands of productivity. With GroupWise WorkFlow, Novell is providing
GroupWise users with additional tools to bridge the islands of
productivity and decrease the costs associated with moving work."

"GroupWise is currently one of our hottest-selling products, and workflow
is one of the hottest topics on our customers' minds," said Mike Murray,
systems engineer, MicroAge of Memphis Tennessee. "The integration of
GroupWise WorkFlow with the Universal In Box finally gives our customers a
compelling reason to implement a workflow solution."

"GroupWise WorkFlow is an absolute world-beater of a product," said Connie
Moore, director, Giga Information Group, a leading Information Technology
Advisory Group. "When we look back two years from now, the GroupWise
WorkFlow introduction will be a defining moment in developing workflow for
the mass market."

Creating a Workflow

Jointly developed with FileNet Corporation, GroupWise WorkFlow enables
GroupWise users to become workflow authors. With its point-and-click user
interface, GroupWise WorkFlow makes constructing a workflow as simple as
dragging icons, which represent people and objects in the system, to the
WorkFlow Canvas and drawing arrows to link these icons in sequential,
broadcast or conditional routes.

The GroupWise address book allows workflow authors to assign people to each
workflow step. With each step in the work process, the author can include
detailed instructions, attach documents and objects required to complete
the task, define specific responses and establish security levels for each
participant. Once a workflow is implemented, the author can receive the
status of the work in process, which shows exactly who has the work and
what they've done with it.

Participating in a WorkFlow

GroupWise WorkFlow, tightly integrated with GroupWise, makes participating
in workflows as simple as using E-mail. If a user has been defined as a
workflow participant, theywill receive a message in their Universal In Box
when it is time for them to participate in a particular work process.
Opening the message displays the assignment in a simple dialog box with
instructions for completing the task. Users can respond to the workflow
author, asking questions and making clarifications, and when the task is
completed, GroupWise WorkFlow automatically routes the message to the next
participants.
