Novell partners and users to help develop products

IT Industry - Strategy

Novell has announced that all partners and users will have access to the product development portal.  If you're agitating for an enhancement, here's your chance to push it through.

In an email today to all partners (which iTWire also received), John Dragoon, Novell's Chief Marketing Officer & Channel Chief announced that effective immediately, partners and users  will have the ability to submit product improvement requests to the same database that internal staff use.

In the email, Dragoon says, "As the newest part of our Integrated Product Development program, the Novell Requirements Portal allows you to submit enhancement requests for consideration and to see the high-level life cycle of those requests over time. This portal is the very same one that the teams here at Novell use, and this creates a path for better closed-loop communication between Novell Development and you.

"The idea is to empower you to influence future releases, and gain greater visibility into what our product management team is doing with your products. For our part, the system will help us validate our assumptions against your needs, and make more informed prioritization decisions–based on your day-to-day business requirements."

Novell has provided a training video to outline the best ways to make use of the tool and to facilitate optimum use.

To access the page, all you need is a Novell eLogin account.  The page is also accessible from the Technical Support menus from the main web page.  Note that you will only see your own suggestions – this is not a view of all Novell's development plans.
