Microsoft and Open Text Integration

Making content management part of the user experience

Open Text and Microsoft have partnered to create ECM solutions that extend business processes from the desktop to the back-end systems that manage critical information in a compliant manner over the long term. Microsoft’s desktop dominance and its intimate understanding of usability, as shown in the new Office 2007 suite – coupled with Open Text’s deep understanding of the ECM needs of large enterprises – create a unique offering of ECM Technology & Solutions.

At the repository level, Open Text services extend the lifecycle and metadata of stored objects and provide a greater range of storage options. Open Text functional extensions to SharePoint services and components support the special content formats and especially large files required for specific solutions, as well as managing necessary information exchange with other enterprise systems such as ERP and CRM systems. Exposed and integrated within Microsoft productivity applications, Open Text application extensions support industry and business solutions.
