Examining the OpenText-Documentum purchase six months later

Six months after purchasing #DellEMC 's enterprise content products, including #Documentum, content management company #OpenText is promising future innovation and integration. Features such as #AI functionality figure into keeping Documentum customers in the fold during the transition.

The OpenText-Documentum purchase sent waves through the enterprise content management industry (ECM) when the $1.62 billion deal was announced last September and finalized in January. Questions were voiced about the future of Documentum and whether customers would need to migrate to OpenText products, but OpenText executives have been adamant that both products will continue to exist and receive innovation, including integration into OpenText's upcoming AI offering, Magellan.

Adam Howatson, OpenText CMO, explained, "That's part of the benefit we're articulating to customers is not only the active investment on the platform you're currently invested in, but also the integration with the broader OpenText product portfolio, from customer experience products or business network offering and our discovery and analytics solutions, including OpenText Magellan, our new AI platform that we will be unveiling on July 11."

Howatson added that Magellan is expected to help uncover insights from both numerical data and unstructured content and will be accessible in repositories such as Documentum or InfoArchive, a document archiving platform OpenText received in the Dell EMC ECD acquisition.
