Every year at our annual user conference, Content World, Open Text hosts its eagerly anticipated awards ceremony to celebrate our customers' successes in deploying outstanding ECM solutions and to recognize ECM Champions within our customer user base.
To learn more about the awards, please choose from this list or scroll down:
The GlobalStar Enterprise Awards showcase organizations around the world that are dedicated to achieving real business value and competitive advantage using Open Text's ECM solutions.
Ten finalists are chosen from all entries. A representative from each finalist organization will receive free roundtrip airfare, admission to Content World, and three nights' accommodation.
All finalist solutions will be recognized at an awards ceremony. Runners-up will receive 1,000 GlobalStar points (worth US $1000.00 ). Winners will receive 2,000 GlobalStar points (worth US $2000.00). In order to redeem the points, Open Text customers must officially register for GlobalStar by completing and submitting an online sign-up form.
All finalist and winning entries will be promoted through a nation-wide press release following the conference. In addition, all finalists will be announced in the Winners Circle.
The award categories are designed to coincide with the primary business values of the Open Text ECM Suite: Control, Empower, Agility, and Experience. All GlobalStar Enterprise Awards entries will be reviewed based on a Need/Value/Benefit analysis and the judges will consider which solutions enable the greatest benefits to end-users, provide for improved productivity levels, demonstrate functionality and innovation, and ensure potential for future growth.
All customers of Open Text and the Open Text Group companies are encouraged to submit an entry to the GlobalStar Enterprise Awards. If you have entered the awards program in previous years, you are still welcome to apply.

How do you recognize an ECM Champion? Think of those trusted individuals within the Open Text user base whom you can go to for answers; they always respond selflessly, make a difference, and are active within their own organization and/or in the larger user community, either online or in person.
You are welcome to nominate yourself, another person within your organization, or another individual within the Open Text user community. You may nominate as many people as you think deserve to be recognized! To make a nomination, please go to the online ECM Champion nomination form and briefly let us know whom you would like to nominate and why.
We encourage all customers to sign up for GlobalStar to be eligible to receive GlobalStar points for participation in the awards. GlobalStar is Open Text's customer rewards program where you are rewarded with GlobalStar points-redeemable for consulting, training, user conference admission, and many more opportunities-in return for your participation in reference activities. Each point is worth US $1. All members of GlobalStar who submit an entry to the GlobalStar Enterprise Awards will automatically receive 200 points worth US $200.00.
