Our take

Founded back in 1991, OpenText offers software applications that manage content or unstructured data for enterprises such as large companies, government agencies or professional service firms.

The company has continuously built out its product suite over the years, keeping pace with the changing market. For example, in 2023 it launched OpenText Aviator, a generative AI platform for business networks and IT operations.

As a recognised market leader, this 25+ year old company shows no signs of slowing down. As well as internal development, it also adds to its value through acquisitions, such as that of MicroFocus in 2023.
