Activate your information for the agentic AI era

AI has shifted from tools that assist humans to agents that act autonomously across complex business processes. As The Agentic AI Genome makes clear, that shift changes what enterprise information needs to be: governed, curated, and permissioned. For most on-premises environments, that gap is widening.

Where environments start to slow down

On-premises environments require increasing effort to maintain and evolve. These challenges don't resolve on their own. Every quarter they go unaddressed, the distance between your environment and what AI requires grows.

Upgrade cycles are delayed or avoided

High cost, long timelines, and growing risk

A structured approach to modernization

ACTIVATE with OpenText provides a structured path to modernize your environment without disrupting existing operations. It focuses on improving how your information is governed, integrated, and used—so it can support automation, AI, and ongoing change.

Your existing maintenance investment funds the transition.

How you get there, without the pain

Moving to cloud doesn't have to mean risk or disruption. ACTIVATE is built around four delivery principles that protect what you have while unlocking what's next.

Economic certainty

Your existing maintenance investment bridges the transition. Costs are defined upfront, not estimated after the fact.

Protected integrations

A progressive shift model with certified patterns for SAP, Microsoft 365, and Salesforce keeps existing integrations intact throughout. Nothing moves until it has been validated.

AI governance baseline

Information is governed, permissioned, and audit-ready from day one, instead of retrofitted when a compliance or AI initiative forces the question.

Innovation access

Agentic AI capabilities are being built and delivered cloud-first. Modernization is the on-ramp.

Common modernization questions

  • No. ACTIVATE with OpenText uses a phased approach where both environments run in parallel until you're ready to cut over. Existing integrations, workflows, and configurations stay in place throughout the transition. Nothing moves until it's been validated. For complex environments, dual-run options give your team the time to test, confirm, and proceed with confidence.

  • Start with a clear picture of where you are today. Speak to an ACTIVATE expert to get help with assessing your current environment and identifying the best path forward.

  • No. ACTIVATE builds on your current environment and evolves it over time. Your existing integrations, customizations, and content stay intact. The goal is to improve how your environment operates, not start over. Many organizations modernize in stages, moving workloads progressively rather than all at once.

  • Every quarter you stay put, the gap widens. AI capabilities are being built and delivered cloud-first, which means on-premises customers get access later, or not at all. At the same time, technical debt accumulates, integrations become harder to maintain, and the complexity of eventually modernizing increases. The cost of waiting is not neutral. It compounds.

  • ACTIVATE is designed to use your existing maintenance investment as the foundation for the transition.

  • A migration moves your environment from one place to another. ACTIVATE focuses on making your content governed, connected, and ready for AI and automation in the process. The goal is not to replicate your current environment in the cloud, but to improve how it operates. That distinction matters because a lift-and-shift migration preserves existing limitations. ACTIVATE is designed to eliminate them.
