  • OpenText offers an integrated platform that unifies document management, governance, and business workflows. While ABBYY specializes in document processing, OpenText is a leader in intelligent document processing solutions as well as content platforms, information archiving, document mining, analytics, and knowledge discovery. This platform-centric strategy simplifies deployment and ensures information flows automatically into business workflows. OpenText manages the full information lifecycle, whereas ABBYY focuses primarily on document capture and processing alone.

    Learn more about OpenText intelligent document processing solutions and our broader intelligent content management platform.

  • OpenText™ Core Capture delivers a cloud-native SaaS model that enables rapid deployment and elastic scalability. Unlike ABBYY Vantage, OpenText integrates cloud document processing directly into the OpenText™ Core Content Management platform to enable end-to-end automation—from ingestion to archiving—in a single, governed environment. This reduces vendor sprawl, simplifies operations, and ensures compliance. Plus, private cloud deployment options meet stricter data residency and security requirements while still leveraging the latest AI innovations.

    Discover our cloud document processing advantages.

  • OpenText provides deep, bi-directional integrations with strategic partners like SAP® and Salesforce®. Unlike ABBYY, which relies on proprietary connectors and third-party tools, OpenText embeds content directly into the applications your employees use every day. This ensures content is always in context for accounting, sales, and service workflows. As a result, our intelligent document processing solutions automate repetitive tasks without adding a burden to your IT team. Plus, OpenText has earned 19 SAP Pinnacle Awards for its co-innovation and excellence.

    Learn more about our partner integrations.

  • OpenText provides built-in integration with its own native RPA technology and OpenText™ Process Automation. ABBYY does not offer a native RPA solution. Instead, it requires customers to license and integrate with a third-party RPA vendor to achieve similar levels of automation. By choosing OpenText, you unify the automation of simple tasks and complex workflows without the typical integration hurdles of a multi-vendor approach. This streamlines your end-to-end automation strategy and improves overall time to value.

    Explore OpenText intelligent document processing solutions, which include OpenText Process Automation.

  • OpenText provides a global presence with 22,000 employees operating in 180 countries. In contrast, ABBYY has approximately 800 employees in 13 countries. This global scale ensures customers of OpenText's intelligent document processing solutions benefit from extensive sales, support, and cloud hosting resources. Organizations can have confidence that their automation needs are met regardless of where they operate, and they can meet local data regulation requirements more effectively.
