Anniversary, Remembered

This is CRN's 20th year in business. In anticipation of their twentieth anniversary issue, coming up in June, CRN is looking back at the last two decades, on their Twentieth Anniversary page.

Novell On The Beach

Meanwhile, out on the California coast, Novell convened it's annual partner summit. VARBusiness' T.C. Doyle was there, and reports that the company, led by new CEO Jack Messman, is "more aggressive, more committed" to supporting their partners and fighting for their position in the market. See T.C.'s reports on Novell's Solution Sales approach, as well as his profile of Messman.
