Kuwait Airways takes off with Novell® GroupWise® across 1700 users

The airline also wanted to create a Web portal to provide mobile employees, such as pilots and cabin crew, with secure, remote access to e-mail and other applications and resources from any standard Web browser. Corporate portal increases productivity by providing remote, single sign-on access to e-mail and other applications.

We are able to give the right people access to the right information while ensuring the security of our confidential data.
