Open Text Strength in London Insurance Market Recognised at Inaugural User Forum

London, UK - 2009-10-08 - Open Text Corporation, a global leader in Enterprise Content Management (ECM), reaffirmed its leadership in the London Insurance Market with the inaugural user forum hosted at the offices of Canopius, an international insurance and reinsurance group, and an Open Text customer, along with representatives of more than 20 other clients from the UK.

The forum examined the issues facing insurance brokers and the positive impact having an effective ECM strategy can have on their business. According to Nick Barrow, Commercial Sector Sales Director at Open Text: This was a great opportunity to present our ECM solutions and share how they are proving successful for the insurance market. They consistently provide companies with accurate and timely information, from controlled and secure electronic processes, giving them significant cost and time saving advantages.

We realise the ever-increasing demand for electronic trading and understand the need for document management and workflow systems that will enable the sector to exchange information electronically with brokers and third parties around the world.

Open Text software enables users to perform consistent and reliable searches across all electronic information sources and databases. By offering a fast, easy to use and accurate capability, we significantly improve the engagement experience between key organisations in the London Insurance Market, says Barrow.

The Open Text ECM Suite offers insurance companies an electronically integrated document and business process management solution, meeting their future London Market needs. Open Text has a track record providing solutions to the UK insurance sector for more than 10 years, with a total of more than 60,000 users.
