Novell Vibe is a cloud-based platform designed for team collaboration, originally introduced by Novell in June 2008 under the name Novell Teaming. It serves multiple purposes including acting as a centralized knowledge base, a document management system, a project collaboration environment, a tool for automating processes, and as an enterprise intranet or extranet. The platform enables users to securely upload, edit, manage, and comment on various content types.
The document management capabilities encompass version tracking, approval workflows, and monitoring of document life cycles. Additionally, users have access to the complimentary Vibe Resource Library, where they can download and tailor pre-designed webpages and workflow templates.
Following Novell's acquisition, the product was renamed Micro Focus Vibe as of 2022. Currently, Novell operates under the ownership of OpenText.
