Microsoft and OpenText Working Together
See what the Partnership can do for you
For many years, Enterprise Content Management (ECM) systems have helped organizations around the world manage their electronic information. The ongoing challenge has been to tightly integrate these systems into the processes that drive the business and that recognize the way that users actually work.
Knowledge workers prefer to do their work using certain familiar tools and interfaces – especially Microsoft productivity applications such as Microsoft Outlook and Word. However, they need to access information from a wide range of disparate systems and line-of-business applications through their familiar Microsoft productivity applications if they are to be effective. As well, corporations seek assurance of compliance, control and security control around their business information, while management must be certain that critical content is stored securely for the long term.
Our collaborative partnership with Microsoft enables OpenText to develop business and industry solutions that seamlessly integrate with Microsoft’s platform software, leveraging your existing investments in Microsoft technologies, while opening access to information in your other enterprise applications. Our commitment to providing excellence in end-to-end solutions, coupled with this innovative and exceptional relationship, maintains OpenText’s position as the leading provider of ECM solutions.
