"This certification will help NetWare users implement a quality support solution for either internal or external customers within their environment," said Rick Fowler, NetWare product line manager for Novell. "The technical strength of NetWare ensures scalability and reliability, and this release from LiveTime will certainly enhance our customers' ability to manage and improve their interactions with their customers."

The LiveTime solutions can be deployed and configured in a NetWare environment within a matter of hours, and incorporate service level management, knowledge base, client portal, management reporting, escalation and notification engine.
