OpenText unveils OpenText Extended ECM for Oracle E-Business Suite

Issued by Global Research Partners for Open Text
Johannesburg, 25 Nov 2013

OpenText (NASDAQ: OTEX, TSX: OTC), a global leader in enterprise information management (EIM) and a Platinum level member of Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN), today unveiled OpenText Extended ECM for Oracle E-Business Suite. This unique application combines the power of the new OpenText Content Suite with Oracle E-Business Suite. It enables businesses to bring Oracle ERP content and processes together with enterprise content management (ECM) to help improve business functions with strong information management, governance and discovery. This new application forms a foundation for interoperability between Oracle E-Business Suite processes and other OpenText EIM offerings aimed at enhancing productivity and process velocity across the enterprise.

"Today's CIO understands the importance of leveraging enterprise information throughout all platforms and systems to drive their agenda of innovation and growth," said Lynn Elwood, Vice-President, ECM product marketing, OpenText. "With OpenText Extended ECM for Oracle E-Business Suite, customers can unite the worlds of ERP and ECM into a single solution, helping to reduce the risks and costs associated with records mismanagement, and increasing information worker productivity."

While many businesses have the technology and processes in place to leverage structured data, capitalising on unstructured data - that frequently lives in disparate locations - can be an expensive, slow and error-riddled task. This new offering combines Oracle E-Business Suite, which manages structured data, with the OpenText Content Suite, which helps manage unstructured data, so that relevant information - regardless of type or source - is together in context and properly governed throughout the process. Built upon the proven OpenText Content Suite, OpenText Extended ECM for Oracle E-Business Suite can boost productivity, while helping to reduce information governance risks.

"OpenText and Oracle are continuously innovating to provide our joint customers with a better and more secure way to conduct business," said David Hicks, Vice-President, Worldwide ISV, OEM, and Java Business Development, Oracle. "OpenText, a Platinum level member of OPN, offers extensive experience on the use of key Oracle technologies and platforms to support their product development."

OpenText Extended ECM for Oracle E-Business Suite manages virtually all forms of content throughout its life cycle, combining secure, automated capture, storage and organisation of documents with archiving and records management functionality.

The OpenText Extended ECM for Oracle E-Business Suite offers the following features:

* Comprehensive ECM: OpenText Extended ECM for Oracle E-Business Suite is a complete application that gives users the power to manage content associated with business objects, while complementing the existing Oracle E-Business Suite applications to manage their transaction-centric processes and content.
