The requirements for today’s enterprise content management (ECM) and content services solutions continue to evolve as organizations look to extract more value from their content systems. Content platforms at their core must support document and records management, automate business process and facilitate collaboration between employees and external stakeholders. But to truly meet the needs of modern work, leading content platforms have become more intelligent and composable with the flexibility to meet diverse business and industry requirements. With OpenText™ Content Cloud™, companies master modern work by embedding AI-enabled content services in the processes that fuel their business to deliver frictionless operational experiences.

We are pleased to announce that OpenText has been named a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Content Platforms, Q1 2025. We believe this recognition is a testament to OpenText’s history as a content service industry leader and innovator. OpenText received the highest possible scores in the criteria of:

  • Vision
  • Innovation
  • Partner ecosystem
  • Integrations with enterprise applications
  • Lifecycle management
  • Enhanced security
  • Collaborative workspaces
  • eSignature
  • Document generation
  • Packaged solutions for vertical/horizontal apps
  • Content migration

According to The Forrester Wave™ report, “OpenText has a clear vision that brings intelligence and automation to its extensive portfolio and keeps content management at the forefront of that innovation.”

At OpenText, our continued investment in R&D is another way we are helping to address customer needs now and in the future. Without this focus on innovation in AI and automation, we would not be able to help customers address changing market demands, emerging risks and evolving regulations. As the Forrester report notes, “while AI and machine learning are not new to content platforms, genAI has unlocked new opportunities to generate, transform, and interrogate documents.”

The Forrester report states, “Customers seeking a robust set of AI-enhanced content governance and automation capabilities with flexible cloud deployment options should consider OpenText.”


OpenText Content Cloud is a composable platform that connects people, content and process to power employee productivity and smarter, faster decisions. Stop information chaos with integrated business process and secure and govern information across its lifecycle to address the most complex use cases at scale.
