“With a directory war looming, Novell Inc. is partnering with
key systems integrators to advance Novell Directory Services

prepares to ship its Windows 2000 Active Directory, has enlisted
the help of large systems integrators such as Perot Systems Corp.
and Deloitte & Touche LLP to integrate NDS eDirectory with
enterprise resource planning, supply chain management, customer
relationship management and other mission-critical, e-business
applications.
