In today’s enterprise environment, technology must do more than support operations—it must accelerate them. Leaders are demanding systems that are smarter, safer, and leaner. They want technology that performs, not just functions. That’s why the partnership between SAP and OpenText is more relevant than ever.

For over 30 years, SAP and OpenText have partnered to help enterprise technology deliver results. Together, we connect SAP’s structured process expertise with OpenText’s best-in-class unstructured content management to create purpose-built solutions that reduce complexity, embed compliance, and elevate employee experiences.

This isn’t just collaboration, it’s co-innovation with purpose.

Technology that performs: Why this partnership matters

Enterprises today face mounting pressure: fragmented systems, shifting regulations, and tools that add friction instead of flow. Technology is supposed to be the engine of growth, but too often it becomes a bottleneck. SAP and OpenText have solve this challenge at the core by unifying structured data and unstructured content into a single source of truth.

This unified foundation gives leaders control, employees clarity, and IT a cloud-first platform that scales globally. It’s not just about integration, it’s about transformation.

OpenText certified for SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

OpenText™ Core Content Management is now officially certified for SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition. This makes OpenText the first and only SAP Solution Extension (SOLEX) document management platform qualified to support GROW with SAP.

This milestone delivers:

  • Cloud-first control with built-in compliance
  • Unified content and process management across SAP Cloud ERP
  • AI-ready architecture for smarter decisions and faster outcomes

As enterprises modernize through RISE and GROW with SAP, content management has become a critical success factor. To unlock real business value from AI, organizations must connect structured data with unstructured content in governed, intelligent ways.

Use cases that drive real value

Vendor invoice management (VIM) – Transform VIM from a transactional workflow into an intelligent engine. Organizations gain access to historical archives and live operational systems for smarter invoice processing and faster decision-making. Embedded AI reduces exceptions, increases throughput, and strengthens compliance—powered by governed, context-rich content.

HR document management – SAP and OpenText help organizations to manage millions of HR records and associated employee documents within context, improving employee experience as they manage the hire-to-retire process. Our joint solution with OpenText Core Content and SAP SuccessFactors shows the scale, security, and simplicity possible to control across the employee lifecycle.

Regulatory compliance – Track, report, and govern content usage across geographies. Our joint solutions adapt to evolving regulations, ensuring global compliance without added complexity. Compliance is embedded by design, not bolted on as an afterthought.

Operational efficiency – Unify structured data and unstructured content into a single source of truth. Leaders gain visibility, employees gain clarity, and IT scales with confidence. Metadata indexing and lifecycle governance ensure that every piece of content is searchable, contextualized, and secure.

Our promise: Three pillars of performance

Our joint solutions shift the user experience from friction to flow. With the future of conversational UI enabling intuitive engagement with data, employees are empowered to move from uncertainty to insight, accelerating how work gets done.

Looking ahead: Co-innovation for the future

SAP and OpenText are reimagining core business processes by embedding AI into the SAP Business Data Cloud. This next phase of innovation fuses structured data with unstructured content to deliver automation, intelligence, and insight through data objects within the SAP Business Data Cloud,allowing for reporting and analytics to happen securely and at scale.
