Hybrid-Cloud Platform Enables Developer-Ready Microservices
Allowing Customers and Partners to Deliver Intelligent and
Connected Applications
WATERLOO, Ontario, July 10, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- OpenText™
(NASDAQ: OTEX, TSX: OTEX), the global leader in Enterprise
Information Management (EIM), today announced the release of
OpenText OT2, the next-generation hybrid-cloud platform from
OpenText that brings together intelligent automation, security, and
EIM applications in a powerful unified platform.
"OpenText is the leader in Enterprise Information Management,
both on-premises and for cloud services. Customers are looking to
move faster into the cloud. Today, all industries are looking for a
stable and secure hybrid-cloud infrastructure for their information
management, including sectors such as manufacturing, financial
services, legal, life sciences, and government, for whom public
cloud deployments once seemed impossible," said Mark J. Barrenechea, vice-chair, CEO and CTO,
OpenText. "Today, we are yet again redefining the EIM market with
the launch of OpenText OT2, our flexible, hybrid platform for EIM
services and application deployment."
Barrenechea continues, "OpenText OT2 simplifies technology
investment decisions by delivering compelling applications for
business users -- hybrid-cloud based EIM applications supported by
modern micro-services – all on a single SaaS platform. Applications
in OpenText OT2 will be tightly integrated with OpenText Release
16. Whether securely sharing information internally and externally
by integrating OpenText Core and OpenText Documentum, or managing
contracts by integrating Contract Center and OpenText Extended ECM,
customers will get a single solution from OpenText."
With a unified data model and a standard user interface,
OpenText OT2 enables developers to rapidly build SaaS applications
in the OpenText Cloud. OpenText OT2 brings together micro-services
for content collaboration, security, process automation, and
analytics, enabling customers and partners to rapidly develop and
deploy powerful business applications to drive digital
transformation further into their operations.
"We are leveraging our deep knowledge of building EIM products
to deliver a self-service, hybrid platform. OpenText OT2 will allow
our customers and partners to access pre-built hybrid applications
that integrate deeply with their existing OpenText solutions," said
Muhi Majzoub, EVP, Engineering and Cloud Services, Opentext.
"Developers can use either low-code or native development
environments to build custom applications hours rather weeks."
The OpenText OT2 platform, available now, will develop with
quarterly releases, with all applications being tightly integrated
with OpenText Release 16.
OpenText OT2 applications launching at Enterprise World
2018
In his keynote address at Enterprise World, Muhi
Majzoub, Executive Vice President, Engineering and IT at OpenText
will preview the first generation of transformative applications
built on the OpenText OT2 platform.
"On the Enterprise World stage last year, we launched OpenText
People Center and committed to delivering additional apps built on
the OpenText platform. This year we are showcasing OpenText
Quality, an application designed to meet the needs of the
highly-regulated life sciences industry and OpenText Legal, a cloud
EIM app that integrates with OpenText eDOCS to manage client
onboarding and document sharing," said Majzoub. "Today's launch
marks OpenText's arrival as a true applications and platform
company. We invite developers and customers to join with us to
create the next generation of intelligent and connected
applications to create new ways of working, collaborating and doing
business."
