Lockheed Martin Success Story

Lockheed Martin Using OpenText Document Management to Protect Data and Enhance Processes

Lockheed Martin Aeronautics uses OpenText technology to help manage several business processes

“To help support compliance with government regulation, the OpenText workflow engine has provided us with a complete audit trail of export control which is a very big issue in our business because of what is called the ITAR regulations that have to do with exporting sensitive technical information to non-US citizens.”

— Marc Minnies, a Project Manager and Team Lead at Lockheed Martin
