Novell Vibe 3.2
Novell is pleased to announce the availability of Novell Vibe 3.2 to all customers worldwide.

Product Information
With this release, Novell continues to deliver a proven collaborative application that facilitates social team productivity, knowledge retention, document and content management, and business process automation. This release comes with key new functionality around managing file versions and new mobile apps. It also marks the first time we are dropping the “OnPrem” modifier, making the name for our social, team collaboration product simply “Novell Vibe".

Novell Vibe provides a digital environment where local and geographically dispersed team members can better coordinate their efforts, information, resources and unique skills toward the completion or maintenance of projects, processes and goals. It empowers users to easily build teams, interact, and create and manage content. Novell Vibe provides social tools that empower users to easily create and leverage the interactions they need to be more efficient and agile contributors. It fosters the contribution and growth of an organization's ever-evolving intelligence and collective knowledge in a way that ensures that it can always be leveraged.

Key New Features:

• File version management
• Improvements with workflows, surveys and file quotas
• Expanded capabilities with landing pages and task management
• New mobile apps for iPhone and Android devices
• Performance, usability and quality improvements
• Also, shortly after the release of version 3.2, Novell will also make available new tools to enable off-line file sync for Vibe workspaces and folders and a new Microsoft Office Add-in. These new tools will require version 3.2. More details will be released soon.
