OpenText's Position in the Leaders Quadrant Follows Twelve
Consecutive Years as a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for
Enterprise Content Management
WATERLOO, Ontario, Oct. 12, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- OpenText™ (NASDAQ:
OTEX, TSX: OTEX), a global leader in Enterprise Information
Management (EIM), today announced that it has been positioned as a
leader in Gartner's 2017 Magic Quadrant for Content Services
Platforms.*
"Information is at the heart of all digital processes. The
evolution of Enterprise Content Management (ECM) to Content
Services, as a way to manage and integrate this information, is
paramount to a successful digital transformation strategy," said
Mark Barrenechea, Vice-Chairman, CEO
& CTO at OpenText. "OpenText has made significant investments
across our Content Services during the past year. By adding leading
platforms such as Documentum to our portfolio, and embedding
Content Services in our applications, OpenText continues to
innovate, evolve and grow with the market."
According to the Gartner report, "Cloud, social collaboration,
mobile and analytics technologies have transformed demands and
expectations for content in digital business. The variety and
volume of content continue to grow. So does its importance:
increasingly, IT and business leaders use content to complement or
even drive digital business processes."
The report also notes, "Content Services Platform (CSP) vendors
are recasting ECM in terms of a service-oriented architecture ... A
CSP has the flexibility to support existing and emerging content
use cases. It has its own repository but should also be able to
integrate external repositories through connectors, APIs or
packaged integrations. Today, many CSPs can be deployed
on-premises, in the cloud or in hybrid architectures."
Part of the OpenText EIM platform, OpenText™ Content Services
help organizations connect content to their Digital Business and
transform process productivity, personal productivity, and control.
Additionally, OpenText Content Services adhere to the Content
Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) standard and support a
broad range of operating systems, databases, application servers,
and enterprise applications.
