Named Leader in new Gartner Magic Quadrant and Critical Capabilities

We are pleased to announce that OpenText has been named a Leader in the new 2024 Gartner Magic Quadrant and Critical Capabilities for Document Management, published December 19, 2024*.

OpenText’s highlighted strengths in this Magic Quadrant and Critical Capabilities report include:

  • Integration including document management use cases with Enterprise Application Content Services. The report underscores our long-standing relationship with SAP, and Gartner recommends customers evaluate OpenText when looking for a premium, SAP-endorsed document management solution.  OpenText excels when customers require deep, out-of-the-box integration across a multi-cloud environment – including SAP, Salesforce, Microsoft, Google Workspace, and Guidewire on roadmap. 
  • Simplification including X-Plans licensing that helps make the Content Cloud portfolio easier for buyers to understand.  The X-Plans have revolutionized the way customers buy and consume Content Cloud, providing document management solutions via turnkey packages that address common customer pain points.  The X-Plans also significantly simplify deployment and upgrades for customers, whether running their solution in the cloud or on-premises.  
  • Investment in AI and Cloud, across OpenText’s portfolio and products.  Gartner suggests customers enhance their document management solutions with OpenText Aviator AI capabilities, which empowers knowledge workers with an AI content assistant for chat-based search, summarization, content creation, translation and more.

Leader in IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Intelligent Content Services

OpenText was also named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Intelligent Content Services 2024 Vendor Assessment (doc #US51467323, September 2024).

With tight integrations to SAP, Teams, Salesforce, and a long list of industry and LOB solutions, OpenText provides value to a wide array of use cases, especially for large enterprise customers and highly regulated industries.”
