Content Management Systems Reviews - Open Text

Open Text Corporation is the software company which provides enterprise content management (ECM) software solutions. This software combines content lifecycle management, business processes, and collaboration. It includes the underlying platform to manage most content types, ranging from user generated content in social networks to data in enterprise resource management systems. These ECM technologies can be used to address end user engagement, business agility, and cost and risk reduction.

Open Text sells software licenses including support and maintenance, offers worldwide consulting services, software training, and individual support packages.

Because Open Text has many products that would be interesting to you, it is impossible for me to describe all of them in one post. I am going to break up the description of Open Text products into few posts. Today, I am going to describe Open Text product offerings in general. In my future posts, I will describe specific products.

Major Open Text Product Offerings

The Open Text ECM Suite integrates multiple technologies for document management, records management, web content management, portal, digital asset management, email management, and content lifecycle management. Other components include electronic discovery, auto-classification, document capture, document imaging and digital faxing solutions. The suite provides functions for team collaboration, forums, blogs, wikis, and real-time instant messaging and collaboration. These functions are connected through business process management tools to each other and to other business applications and processes.

Open Text eDOCS products (formerly Hummingbird Enterprise), complement the Open Text ECM Suite. They are integrated with OpenText ECM Suite. eDocs products are used for managing all forms of content and also include collaboration, forums, blogs, wikis, instant messaging, and provide business process management tools. These products are widely used in pharmaceutical companies.
