Novell Buys Groupware's Sitescape

Novell has been stuck in a rut for too long. We can't recall the last time the Utah-based software company was involve in a deal. Today it announced that it was buying groupware's Sitescape. Founded in 1995 and based in Maynard, MA Sitescape was originally spun out of DEC.

Sitescape started out making open-source Web workspace and then it bought a conferencing solution and now it is addressing social networking.

Sitescape clients include the US Navy, US Centers for Disease Control, the European Space Agency, Lockheed Martin, Shell, and Starwood Hotels.

Sitescape may have sold to Novell as it is facing strong competition from Microsoft Sharepoint as well as from smaller innovators like Jive Software, SuiteTwo and SpikeSource.
