Managing innovation at a large company can require addressing the needs of an endless list of stakeholders to engage, a massive number of data points, and a multitude of obstacles and landmines to avoid. So the Qmarkets platform lets users define and manage intelligent crowdsourcing processes to identify, review, and implement the most relevant ideas, trends, or insights. The solution boasts clients like Ford, Intel, Coca-Cola, and UBS, as well as a wealth of best-practices to help organizations…
I think Micro Focus Vibe is very well suited for organizations that work in a team collaboration front and have to share documents. I think this really shines in organizations that have a standard set of information that gets lost in the sauce because of the sheer amount of people in an organization. In this case, the Wiki is very helpful in this setting. I wouldn't quite recommend this site for video production houses unless you are patient enough to correlate your needs to the many many features available through Vibe...because it all boils down to patience.

I have no negative points to bring out. Qmarkets, as a company, has been very cooperative and has provided full support during the entire sales cycle. The sales cycle actually ran over a year with multiple discussions with the customer before they signed off. Qmarket products are well thought off and their fitment to customer needs are almost 100%.
Novell Vibe connects GroupWise mail with Vibe natively which means you can access Vibe from within the mail product.
Once forms and workflows are set up, the access structure on who sees what or not is very effective.
You can use Novell Vibe as your main intranet with everything from wiki's, blogging and more fully automated and still in synch with your internal organisational structure.
After playing with it for a while i found that through jsp it is highly configurable.
The most pressing improvement is in printing. In speaking with Novell techs Vibe was designed as a web tool, no paper necessary. However in the real world our folks love their paper printouts. Vibe utilizes views for various functions. A print view that's easily configured would be an awesome upgrade.
Customized in JSP. Vibe is completely customized using JSP. I don't know it. I'm not a programmer. I can work things out, but programming isn't my forte.

It meets our current business needs and provides the scalability we need for future growth. It can be installed on Windows or Linux (Our alpha install was on Linux. Our beta was on Windows. We went with Windows). There are additional features, and application integrations, that we haven't taken advantage as of yet due to the lack of current business needs.

At this moment it still looks you need to do a lot to be able to use it and to be honest that time should be used for work not for configuring a communication tool for the business. Yes I understand that it takes time to learn something to use in the organisation , but with this tool I see the help desk having to answer a lot of questions on how to use it or once someone has done something how to undo it.
The main alternatives were Sharepoint or creating a custom Drupal install. Sharepoint was too expensive and didn't fit into our Novell environment. The Drupal solution we found was beyond our technical ability.

Other competition products were evaluated but Qmarkets had products that were 100% fit for our customer's needs and the Qmarket team has excellent Tech team which we didn't see in the competition that we and our client evaluated. Also, the Q products are very flexible compared to others in the market.
