OpenText named a Leader in the 2025 IDC MarketScape for Worldwide General-Purpose Knowledge Discovery

OpenText recently announced the roadmap for the OpenText AI Data Platform, where knowledge discovery plays a central role in enabling customers to extract actional insights from large and complex datasets. OpenText is building an open, unified data and AI framework and full suite of services to help organizations bring together structured and unstructured data. 

 

One of the modules available now is OpenText Knowledge Discovery, an AI-powered, scalable platform that helps organizations organize, classify, label, and protect content. It enables organizations to gain deep insights, illuminate dark data, protect privacy, and enrich content metadata. The result is that enterprises greatly improve their AI-readiness and ensure a secure, compliant, and accurate GenAI strategy. 

 

The IDC MarketScape recommends that “companies that require highly scalable and real-time knowledge discovery from multiple repositories and a broad set of file formats, including rich media, should consider OpenText.” The report adds that “OpenText Knowledge Discovery appeals to customers that require end-to-end information management solutions, where governance and regulatory compliance are critical concerns.” 

 

As the volume and complexity of unstructured enterprise content continue to grow, intelligent platforms like OpenText Knowledge Discovery are essential to extract value, maintain security, and enable AI transformation at scale. The platform enhances content management, archiving, and digital asset management with enriched metadata, governance, and AI-driven insights. With federated search, GenAI-based natural language analysis, visualizations, and deep understanding of video and audio content, OpenText Knowledge Discovery delivers comprehensive visibility across all content types and sources. 

 

Media Info Groep, for example, relies on OpenText Knowledge Discovery to analyze tone and sentiment analysis across 250 million documents. The company processes 35,000 search requests every 15 minutes through a unified processing layer that provides contextual insight across both structured and unstructured data. 

 

“Organizations now have more content than ever, and customer expectations for insights into that data are at an all-time high,” said Michael Cybala, OpenText Senior Vice President of Engineering. “OpenText Knowledge Discovery’s productivity and understanding and transformation capabilities transform content into a strategic asset, helping customers achieve higher levels of AI readiness and productivity, and help scale a secure foundation for effective GenAI use cases.”
