I’m ready to celebrate!  As I am sure are the GroupWise developers.  GroupWise 2014 has “hit the streets”.  You can download it here:

https://download.novell.com/Download?buildid=GYNeMTBydHU~

There are two download.novell.com links right now.  One just says GroupWise 2014 (link above) and the other says GroupWise 2014 Eval, but that link is not working as of the time of this missive.  They should be the same files though.

And we got our official GroupWise 2014 Upgrade Guides ready just in the nick of time.  The “In-Place” guide shipped at 218 pages.  The “Move/Migration” guide came in at 264 pages!  That’s a lot of upgrade info!

Our entire list of GroupWise 2014 listings can be found here!

Product Manager Dean Lythgoe has been posting some good info on his blog over the past few months.  Check it out for more info on what’s new!

Here’s to your upgrade success!

The Novell GroupWise team is still hard at work, readying this great new release for you. Novell is still saying 1st quarter, so that’s right around the corner.

There is a lot NEW about GroupWise 2014, and we don’t want you to be surprised by anything as you go through your upgrade. Time to start some light reading 🙂

The Caledonia GroupWise Power Administrator Resource is Live

Yesterday we held our kick-off webinar for the Caledonia GroupWise Power Administrator Resource. We were joined in this webinar by Kai Reichert, Novell Product Manager for GroupWise Mobility Service. As part of our webinar, we installed and configured a new GroupWise Mobility Service 2.0 server, and Kai answered many questions by the attendees about the new release and the future plans for Mobility.

So what is the Caledonia GroupWise Power Administrator Resource you ask?  It is a membership site packed with information for serious GroupWise Administrators.  Just some of the benefits include:

  • Monthly log file analysis by the Caledonia team.
  • Monthly members only live webinars, with recorded replays available.
  • How-to videos for tasks that often are usually better shown than explained.
  • Members only wiki
  • Free copies of all books written by Danita Zanrè (with a minimum of two months’ membership

Happy Thanksgiving from Caledonia – and something special for you.

Hello from Danita!

Here in the US we are getting ready to celebrate Thanksgiving. It’s one of my favorite holidays. It’s not overly commercial, and it centers almost entirely around family and being thankful for what we have and for each other.

I’m thankful for you as a customer! And I hope that your Thanksgiving holiday (or just your Thursday and the rest of the weekend) is full of happiness and peace!

While I’m not big on the whole “Black Friday” shopping craze, I do know that a lot of sites are offering promotions this weekend, so we would be remise if we did not join in. We’re not going to call ours a “Black Friday Special” though – instead it’s a Thanksgiving Offer that you can access from the safety and quiet of your desk.

Caledonia is pleased to announce the Power Administrator’s Resource, at a 46% discount through the end of Monday, December 2, 2013.

Our membership site is scheduled to “go live” the week of December 1. You can register for our site now, and all memberships will be ready to go when the site opens. If you have recently purchased an item that included a free trial membership, your trial membership will be added the to subscription length. You won’t lose out on your free trial by adding this annual subscription! The site will be available on a monthly or annual subscription when the site goes live. For this promotion, we are only discounting the annual subscription. You can get all of the details here.

This is a membership site designed to give GroupWise Administrators all they need to do their jobs right the first time! An all-inclusive, members only site that offers the following:

  • Continually free updated information on all GroupWise books written by Danita Zanrè (available after 2 full months). Never purchase another of Danita’s books again as long as you are a member in good standing for two months at the time of publication.
  • Video How-tos and tips for getting the most out of GroupWise.
  • A minimum of 8 live webinars per year (with recorded playback) with great training opportunities for GroupWise Administrators. No need to wait for BrainShare or other conferences to get up-to-date training on GroupWise. We’ll have AT LEAST 8 technical webinars per year, plus the possibility of vendor sponsored webinars geared exclusively to our membership.
  • Monthly agent and gwcheck log review for two domains/one post office (if you have more domains/post offices, you can rotate the logs each month to keep on top of potential problems before they happen).
  • Private wiki covering “all things GroupWise”
  • Private question and answer section for members only.
  • 12.5% discount on all Caledonia consulting rates.

We will be adding additional value throughout the year, and truly hope to make this the “best place” for GroupWise information around!

Head over to our store today, and get signed up!

Once again, I wish you a wonderful end to November, and look forward to sharing more GroupWise knowledge with you over the coming year.
