OPEN SOURCE: Some Novell announcements

[via Novell Press Room]

Some news from Novell. Their new strategy doesn’t seem to be implement yet…

02 Nov 2005—Novell, Inc. today announced it will concentrate its business on key growth opportunities in the Linux and Open Source and Identity and Resource Management markets, resulting in a restructuring of the business that will reduce annual run rate expenses by more than $110 million.

[…] As a result of the restructuring, product development and consulting resources are now more focused on the company’s growth businesses, Linux and Identity. Novell also expects to continue to evaluate non-core consulting activities.

[…] Novell also announced today that its Board of Directors has authorized management and its financial advisor, Citigroup Corporate and Investment Banking, to explore strategic alternatives for Celerant, Novell’s consulting subsidiary. The company has previously stated that it intends to separate Celerant from Novell when market and other conditions are appropriate.

Celerant, as the e-Services division of Novell, integrates, among others, the former Cambridge Technology Partners.
