Three keynotes touched on trends in the messaging and collaboration space, the expanding use of mobile devices and the future health of both GWAVA and Novell.
Michael Osterman of Osterman Research shared some research with the group. On a typical day, each person sends or receives 124-149 emails and spends 152 minutes per day dealing with email. Outside of work, 82% of people check work-related emails from home during weekends; 61% check email on vacation. He also discussed median costs of GroupWise versus Exchange, with GroupWise being the most stable and least expensive option. He encouraged the group to determine what their email costs are for their organization.
Michael Toto from Verizon discussed how his company is bringing mobile data applications with its partners to its customers. main emphasis for them are vertical solutions.
Charles Taite, CTO of GWAVA, discussed how GWAVA will be supporting Novell’s new synchronization server with anti-virus, attachment filtering, content control, monitoring, alerting and archiving. He also discussed how Pulse, soon to be released by Novell, will integrate email with other forms of electronic communication and will provide realtime, unified social and document collaboration. Because of this trend, GWAVA will expand its emphasis on protecting new forms of electronic messaging. Lots of new releases of GWAVA products and a new product supporting Pulse are planned for 2010.
After a full day of sessions, GWAVACon attendees enjoyed a delicious Mexican meal and had fun playing Wings of War, a GWAVA tradition. Some die-hard gamers even stayed late for Settlers of Cattan. Lots of great prizes were given out and the winners left very happy. Most said they had more luck at GWAVACon than they ever would at the casinos!
