Open Text Builds Out Livelink Suite with Portal

Coreport 6.0 Delivers Enterprise Content Integration for Livelink, Adds Improvements to Portal Framework for Coreport Customers

Chicago, IL. - 2003-06-25 - Open Text Corporation, (Nasdaq: OTEX, TSX: OTC), provider of Livelink®, the leading collaboration and knowledge management software for the global enterprise, today introduced Coreport 6.0, an enterprise portal framework that unifies content from Livelink, other repositories and a wide range of enterprise systems in a single interface. The solution offers customers a new option for enterprise content integration in Livelink, allowing them to connect disparate applications and repositories, and gain greater ROI from existing systems.

Coreport 6.0 brings Livelink s virtual team collaboration, knowledge and content management, business process automation and information retrieval services into an easily customized and extended portal environment. The new version also includes enhancements to the Coreport portal framework, with a variety of functional improvements. The new capabilities represent a continued investment in the Coreport product, based on input from Coreport customers.

"In order for people to collaborate effectively in an organization, they need easy access to the right tools and information," said Scott Chate, Global Collaborative Solutions Program Manager for Mercer Human Resource Consulting, which uses Livelink as its knowledge management platform. "Building portals into Livelink can really benefit users because we can further align Livelink content with users needs. In the end, that translates into improved productivity."

Customers are determined to get more value from existing systems by bridging the divides between content sources and users, said Mark Portu, Vice President of Collaborative Technology at Open Text. Coreport plays an important role in our strategy to deliver enterprise content integration to customers. Version 6.0 provides a robust portal solution for Livelink that delivers integration at the point of access, strengthening Livelink as a central place for knowledge sharing, collaboration and compliance management. It also includes new capabilities for Coreport-only customers, giving them new ways to integrate applications throughout their organizations.

Coreport's unique role-based personalization makes it easy to target content and applications to job functions, departments, distributor networks, and ad-hoc project teams. Users see only what's relevant to their individual roles and relationships to the enterprise. Coreport provides access to any kind of application running on any platform both Web and legacy with no change to the native application or loss of functionality.

Coreport can deliver connectivity to any type of application with its Coreport Connector framework. The connector framework gives companies the flexibility to easily develop and customize connectors for all the applications unique to their businesses -- as well as their unique views into those applications. Coreport Connectors, which have been developed for a wide range of popular enterprise applications, support both full application launch as well as deep, granular access to business functionality targeted to users based on their specific needs.

For Livelink connectivity, Coreport 6.0 offers a variety of options, given the breadth of Livelink functionality, including connectors leveraging Livelink UNITE virtual workspaces and Livelink Atlas tree navigation of Livelink content.

Coreport 6.0 will be available July 1.
