Open Text Announces LiveLinkUp Orlando, November 3-6
Program Highlights Regulatory Compliance and Corporate Governance Solutions
Chicago, Il - 2003-07-24 - Open Text™ Corporation (Nasdaq: OTEX, TSX: OTC), provider of Livelink&3174;, the leading collaboration and knowledge management software for the global enterprise, today announced its upcoming LiveLinkUp conference in Orlando, Florida, November 3-6, 2003. This year's conference program will demonstrate how Open Text is helping public agencies and other organizations balance the need to address regulatory compliance issues while also achieving real business value through their Livelink solutions.
Many industry sectors such as pharmaceuticals, life sciences, financial services, and government agencies are subject to strict regulations that dictate how, when, and under what circumstances electronic documents can be authored, updated, approved, published, and archived. Livelink offers a holistic approach to compliance management that helps reduce redundancy of data and strives to eliminate inefficiencies. In the race to market, regulated industries need to make compliance with regulations an integral part of their document management process so they can rapidly deploy superior new products to market before the competition.
For federal agencies, compliance with government standards plays an important role in ensuring certain quality of information, instilling a faith in the eyes of the public and promoting the creation and ongoing maintenance of trustworthy information upon which sound decisions can be made. “In an increasingly regulated environment, the key to successful compliance with high regulatory and corporate governance standards and is to ensure that consistent processes are rapidly deployed throughout the organization,” said Kirk Roberts, Executive Vice President of Global Services, Open Text. “By actively enforcing compliance rules within Livelink, we provide the foundation for organizations to mitigate risk and control document lifecycles.”
The conference will provide access to a diverse audience of senior executives, systems integrators, engineers, developers, trainers, and industry experts. "LiveLinkUp reflects all the value propositions inherent in Livelink. The community of business minds sharing their experiences and best practices is an invaluable source of knowledge that can be applied to all government agencies or organizations in any industry," said Matt Eidson, Livelink Integrator/Developer, Tybrin Corporation/Edwards Air Force Base.
Attendees will have the opportunity to learn from peers, meet and share ideas with key industry players and Open Text senior management. Keynote sessions, product demonstrations, case studies, product sessions, and round table discussions will provide the strategy and vision for organizations to extend the both the value and return on investment in their Open Text solutions. "Open Text's conference opens your eyes to new possibilities and provides an excellent opportunity to meet and learn from other Livelink users," Dwight Capes, Knowledge Manager, Shell Global Solutions.
Recognizing the outstanding accomplishments of Open Text customers, the LiveLinkUp Awards showcase best-of-class solutions and applications based on the Open Text family of products.
