Cloud content services solutions and enterprise content management (ECM) are critical elements of a comprehensive modern work strategy.  Across all content services use cases, continuous innovation remains top of mind for organizations as they look for ways to innovate their content services technologies to drive growth and competitive differentiation. With OpenText™ Content Cloud™, companies are mastering modern work by delivering frictionless employee experiences and fueling efficient business processes, while strengthening information protection.

We are pleased to announce that OpenText has been named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Cloud Content Services 2022 Vendor Assessment. We believe this recognition is a testament to OpenText’s history as an industry leader and innovator in content services technology. OpenText Content Cloud is recognized for its broad array of capabilities including capture, case management and document generation that can be integrated with leading business applications to help large global enterprises modernize their processes.

“Organizations have recognized the benefits of modern cloud-based content services architectures, including increased efficiency, improved security, and ease of deployment,” according to Holly Muscolino, Group Vice President, Content Strategies and the Future of Work at IDC. “As we move forward, content agility will be critical to support new work models. Organizations will continue to modernize their content services technologies, replacing legacy applications with individual cloud services and modules that provide greater flexibility and leverage AI and advanced analytics to truly transform their content processes.” 

According to the IDC MarketScape report, “Organizations in highly regulated industries should consider OpenText for its strong content governance, records management, and workflow capabilities. Content services integrations across the OpenText portfolio and tight integrations to SAP, Teams, Salesforce, and a long list of horizontal solutions make OpenText suitable for a wide array of use cases and will be especially pertinent to large enterprise customers.” 

The IDC MarketScape report highlights “OpenText also provides robust tools for content federation across various file shares, email, physical media, document storage, and collaboration with a number of regional and industry-specific compliance certifications.”
