“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.”
