OpenText™ a global leader in Enterprise Information Management (EIM) announced OpenText Cloud Summit, a global 24-city tour to provide expert coaching and support on the journey to the cloud. The event will help organizations map how EIM applications and flexible cloud architecture combine to deliver innovation, growth and business results.

Powerful Cloud-first EIM Applications and Services

OpenText EIM applications continue to define the industry. The wide range of applications, including content services, customer experience, collaboration, capture, sharing and electronic signature, along with innovative archiving and information governance solutions, help companies turn information into a competitive advantage.

• OpenText Core is the next-generation of SaaS applications designed to help manage information and content-intensive business processes. OpenText Core Share adds file sharing and collaboration to OpenText Content Services. The addition of apps for compliance, legal, quality, customer experience and now Core Signature, help manage processes and improve productivity.
• OpenText Business Network – B2B Services and application-to-application connectivity are key to modern business processes, offering flexible, cloud-based any-to-any integrations for advanced supply chains and business process such as invoicing and accounts payable.
• OpenText Release CE, expected in April 2020, will deliver cloud-first versions of market-leading EIM applications. Through automatic updates, containerized apps will deliver an information advantage in a manner designed with reliability and flexibility in mind.

Cloud brings both attractive economics and technical benefit. Once companies have a modern infrastructure in place, attention can turn to innovation through compelling new applications and the ability to quickly respond to new trends.

According to IDC, “Running a digital business requires next-generation applications which, in turn, need highly agile and elastic infrastructure. Thus enterprises are migrating their application stacks to the cloud to gain elasticity, agility, and other advantages that are ordinarily unachievable in a legacy datacenter.” *

Barrenechea further added, “It is time to upgrade to the OpenText Cloud and create a modern platform for innovation. The OpenText Cloud is an enterprise-ready global cloud infrastructure with seamless integration to Google Cloud Platform, AWS and Azure, and the ability to offer hybrid connections to off-cloud apps and services.”
