“Intranets and extranets are outdated because they sometimes
shut out prospective customers and suppliers, said [Novell senior
VP of product marketing Dave] Shirk. As a result, the first of
Novell’s products, iChain, aims to integrate the two sets of
services and enable them to hook up to companies’ financial systems
such as billing and reporting.
iChain will ship under controlled release within the next 60
days and Novell plans to host iChain services for selected
customers.
The second offering, eGuide, is scheduled to ship next week
on Netware, Windows NT, Unix and Linux. …allows users to
locate people, places and other resources from directories that
support the lightweight directory access protocol (Ldap).”
