OpenText's Project Red Oxygen redefines enterprise software

OpenText (NASDAQ: OTEX, TSX: OTC), the global leader in enterprise information management (EIM), today announced Project Red Oxygen, the company's first harmonised release of new EIM software advancements designed to give CIOs the power to extract value from their enterprise information and accelerate competitive advantage.

"Project Red Oxygen is the next generation of enterprise software and a powerful testimony to our commitment to lead the EIM marketplace," said OpenText CEO Mark J Barrenechea. "Every business needs an information management strategy to capitalise on their unstructured data, and Project Red Oxygen will give CIOs the power to discover, manage and leverage that information to drive growth and innovation across their organisations."

New product suites accelerate innovation, growth and competitive advantage

Project Red Oxygen consists of five new comprehensive and integrated product suites, designed to accelerate competitive advantage and provide a convenient way to buy and deploy enterprise information management solutions. Driven by customer feedback, Project Red Oxygen delivers a unified developer platform, an engaging and consistent user experience, deep integration across suites, and major new functional enhancements to enable CIOs to partner with lines of business to drive innovation and growth.

The new Project Red Oxygen product suites include:

* Content Suite: The foundation of OpenText Enterprise Information Management, the Content Suite provides businesses with an agile information governance strategy that accelerates the time to information governance by allowing users to apply consistent policies across any type of content in the enterprise to maintain a secure, single source of truth and effectively manage content throughout its life cycle.

* Process Suite: Accelerating time to results, the Process Suite provides a business process platform and applications that enable organisations to rapidly understand and automate even the most complex processes. The suite is a platform for case management, business process management, service delivery and business process transparency. Recent innovations include cloud, mobile and social capabilities that maximise flexibility and deployment options for businesses.

* Experience Suite: Accelerating time to market, the Experience Suite provides solutions that speed collaborative media curation, creation and personalisation to ensure that each user gets the best possible experience at every point of interaction. It is a platform to manage media, Web and social assets and allows solutions to be rapidly built to address digital marketing, customer self-service, social communities and brand management.

* Information Exchange Suite: Accelerating time to transaction, the new Information Exchange Suite provides solutions that enable people to accelerate and control how information is delivered - increasing the security and reliability of sensitive or complex communications. It includes solutions for secure e-mail and secure managed file transfer, notifications and fax, and enables users to exchange any information, from anywhere, in any format, with complete confidence.

* Discovery Suite: Accelerating time to value, the new Discovery Suite addresses "big content" - unintegrated, unstructured and unmanaged information - with applications that enable organisations to derive value from the ever-expanding volume of content trapped in silos to rapidly transition from query, to insight, to action.

Introducing the AppWorks Developer Platform

Foundational to all suites is AppWorks, an entirely new unified development platform that provides a secure gateway for developers to create, deploy and manage applications that use OpenText services from any platform. AppWorks is a common API across the five EIM product suites and a developer platform that accelerates 'time to solution', binding all of OpenText's EIM product suites together to rapidly integrate capabilities among and between them.

"The developer network is one of our strongest assets, and the introduction of AppWorks will give developers the power to build multiple applications that help businesses more effectively harness their data," said Muhi Majzoub, senior vice-president, engineering, OpenText. "Customers, partners and third parties will be able to build applications that meet their exact needs to better compete in today's new information economy."

AppWorks takes cost, risk and complexity out of application development by giving developers access to rich EIM capabilities through simple API calls. The AppWorks Gateway also delivers a write-once for applications that work on desktop, browser and mobile devices, addressing the needs of OpenText customers and partners by helping them to minimise the cost of building applications that run on any screen, and allowing them to develop and deploy new applications on their existing investments.
