Open Text snaps up Operitel

Software giant, Open Text has acquired Operitel, developer of e-learning software integrated with Microsoft SharePoint, reports PC World.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Operitel's e-learning capabilities will improve OpenText's array of content management software, according to OpenText CEO John Shackleton.

Open Text is Canada's largest publicly traded software company and focuses on electronic document management, reveals Canadian Business.

Shackleton says: “Given the scale of content and process management solutions we're providing to global organisations, integrated e-learning is becoming an integral part of the high value solution we provide.”

CMS Wire says Operitel's LearnFlex software is built on the .NET platform and can be used within SharePoint environments, something that OpenText BPM solutions also work with.

Trainers are able to use LearnFlex to create, manage, schedule, monitor and summarise group training efforts. All of these features will be added to OpenText products from the acquisition.
