How is Novell Pulse different from Google Wave?
The design point for Novell Pulse is the enterprise user, so we’ve placed a strong emphasis on features such as security and management controls. We’ve also drawn on our 20+ years experience in the enterprise collaboration space with products like GroupWise, and worked to address enterprise and business use-cases. Novell Pulse is a key component in Novell’s collaboration strategy and open collaboration architecture, working standalone or in concert with Novell’s broader product portfolio. Novell Pulse is very complementary to Google Wave and to our existing collaboration products such as GroupWise. Key features, which draw on the best of e-mail, instant messaging, document sharing, social connections, real-time co-editing and enterprise controls, include: • Security Provisioning, sign-on and permissions leverage enterprise identity and access management systems, directory servers and audit tools to integrate with established processes, keep data safe and support compliance requirements
